Day by Day and with Each Passing Moment

Author: Carolina Sandell Berg; Andrew L. Skoog Meter: Irregular Appears in 59 hymnals Topics: God Presence of 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.

Nought that I have my own I call, I hold it for the Giver; My heart, my strength, my life, my all, Are His, and His for ever. 3 I've found a Friend; O, such a Friend! All power to Him is given, To guard me on my onward course, And bring me safe to heaven. Th' eternal glories gleam afar, To nerve my faint endeavour: So now to watch, to work, to war, And then to rest for ever. 4 I've found a Friend; O, such a Friend! So kind, and true, and tender; So wise a Counsellor and Guide, So mighty a Defender! From Him, who loves me now so well, What power my soul can sever? Shall life or death, or earth or hell? No! I am His for ever. Used With Tune: CONSTANCE
