Day by Day

Day by Day - George Beverly Shea

Day by day and with each passing moment

Strength I find to meet my trials here

Trusting in my father's wise bendowment

I've no 'cause for worry or for fear

He whose heart is kind beyond all measure

Gives unto each day what he deems best

Lovingly it's part of pain and pleasure

Mingling toil with peace and rest

Every day the lord himself is near me

With a special mercy for each hour

All my cares he fain would bear and cheer me

He whose name is counsellor and power

The protection of his child and treasure

Is a charge that on himself he laid

As thy days thy strength shall be in measure

This the pledge to me he made

Help me then in every tribulation

So to trust thy promises oh lord

That I lose not faith sweet consolation

Offered me within thy holy word

Help me lord when toil and trouble meeting

Ever to take as from a father's hand

One by one the days the moments fleeting

Till I reach thy promises land

Till I reach thy promises land

Till I reach thy
