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.

Gives unto each day what He deems best,
Lovingly its 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 with Christ the Lord I stand.
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 with Christ the Lord I stand.

I agree with every comment here. Yes, I have wonderful memories of this and so many other songs that have kept my heart much more steady than it would’ve been without them. Every word of this song says everything about how to face difficulties. It just puts it into perspective so well, when the difficulties come and how the Lord looks at them and wants us to look at them as well
This hymn says what I mean.

I learned this song by heart as a child. My mom loved to play and sing hymns and I loved singing with her! The Lord has been bringing back all these hymns I learned years ago to encourage me in difficult days recently. The words to this song are His Words to me today! The Lord keeps His promises; He will not forget. I will trust in Him!

This song popped in my mind during recent difficult days with aging parents and now will be the theme song to get through it Day by Day and hour by hour.

I remember hearing my Mother and Grandmother sing this song in such a meaningful way.
The lyrics came to me today as my husband and I are getting older. We struggle with pain and health issues. We walk closer to Him every day.
