Verse 1:
Eb Ab
Day by day, and with each passing moment,
Bb Eb
Strength I find to meet my trials here;
Ab
Trusting in my Father’s wise bestowment,
Bb Eb
I’ve no cause for worry or for fear.
G Ab
He, whose heart is kind beyond all measure,
F Eb
Gives unto each day what He deems best,
Ab
Lovingly its part of pain and pleasure,
Bb Eb
Mingling toil with peace and rest.
Verse 2:
Eb Ab
Every day the Lord Himself is near me,
Bb Eb
With a special mercy for each hour;
Ab
All my cares He fain would bear and cheer me,
Bb Eb
He whose name is Counsellor and Pow’r.
G Ab
The protection of His child and treasure
F Eb
Is a charge that on Himself He laid;
Ab
“As thy days, thy strength shall be in measure,”
Bb Eb
This the pledge to me He made.
Verse 3:
Eb Ab
Help me then, in every tribulation,
Bb Eb
So to trust Thy promises, O Lord,
Ab
That I lose not faith’s sweet consolation,
Bb Eb
Offered me within Thy holy Word.
G Ab
Help me, Lord, when toil and trouble meeting,
F Eb
E’er to take, as from a father’s hand,
Ab
One by one, the days, the moments fleeting,
Bb Eb
Till I reach the Promised land.
