"Day by Day" a hymn by Lina Sandell Berg

1.  Day by day and with each passing moment
     Strength I find to meet my trials here;
     Trusting in Father's wise bestowment,,
     I've no cause for worry or for fear.
     He whose heart is kind beyond all measure
     Given unto each day what He deems best--
     Lovingly, it's part of pain & pleasure,
     Mingling toil with peace and rest 

2. Every day the Lord Himself is near me
     With special mercy for each hour;
     All my cares He fain would bear and cheer me,
     He whose name is Counsellor 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 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 
     E'er to take as from a father's hand.
     One by one, the days, the moments fleeting.
     'Till I reach the promised land.
