Skoog Meter: Irregular Appears in 56 hymnals Lyrics: 1 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. 2 Every day, the Lord himself is near me, with a special mercy for each hour; all my cares he wants to bear, to cheer me, he whose name is Counselor and Power. 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. 3 Help me then in every tribulation so to trust thy promises, O Lord, that I lose not faith’s sweet consolation offered me within thy holy Word. Help me, Lord, when toil and trouble meeting, e'er to take, as from a father’s hand, one by one, the days, the moments fleeting, till I reach the promised land.
