Lyrics Day By Day - Guy Penrod

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 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 Pow'r
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 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
One by one, the days, the moments fleeting
Till I reach the promised land
