Day by Day

Lyrics: Karolina Sandell-Berg. Alt. R.Mc.

Music: Oskar Ahnfelt

Day by day, and with each passing moment,

Strength I find to meet my trials here;

Trusting in my Father’s wise bestowment,

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 its 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 gladly takes and cheers me,

He whose name is Counsellor and Pow’r.

The protection of His child and treasure

Is a charge that on Himself He laid;

“As Your days, Your strength shall be in measure,”

This the pledge to me He made.

Help me then, in every tribulation,

So to trust Your promises, O Lord,

That I lose not faith’s sweet consolation,

Offered me within Your holy Word.

Help me, Lord, when toil and trouble meeting,

Each to take, as from a father’s hand,

One by one, the days, the moments fleeting,

Till with Christ the Lord I stand.
