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.
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.

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.
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

“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.

My daddy is a Baptist minister and we've sung this hymn as a duet together since before I was in high school and many years into my adulthood. I know it by memory.
I'm hurting so deeply tonight for our 16 year old son who has taken the wrong path and is self-destructing before our eyes. None of our efforts, over 2 years, have helped. I feel lost and hopeless, even as a strong believer.
As I found myself at my piano tonight, flipping through the great hymns, I come to Day by Day. I play through, lifting my voice to God, each verse speaking deeply to my heart and ministering to my brokenness.
Of all the many times I've sung, this is the first time I've truly listened to the message. The words brought so much comfort, so much peace.
I hope it finds it's way to others who's hearts are breaking and in need of a mighty, all-powerful God.
Such an awesome God we have and what comforting lyrics!!I am in my deepest gloom away from my husband since 2 years and God is only near to me. I have no hope in him but only in God. He has abandoned me and doesn't want to come back to me. I have not been able to read Bible and pray for longer time as my soul is weary and the only best thing that has helped me is listening and singing to hymns of worship and comfort and knowing that I am not alone even in my solitude. He is alive and is with me in every passing moment. All Glory to our eternal God in Christ Jesus.
I'm grieving deeply at the moment and am in a very dark place where I can't even pray or read God's Word. The darkest and silence is deafening.
But just as I was waking early this morning, God brought this beautiful hymn to my mind that I haven't heard in years and I knew I just had to find the words and try and sing it.
So I found it here and cried my eyes out. Then, as I've read other comments, I've realized that God has worked in much the same way in many lives. People who are in deep pain, God comes to gently in the dark night of the soul and whispers to us to listen to this song as a beautiful reminder of us constant love and care.

I accepted her back with open heart and arms after 2yrs 11 mths and then she left again and almost died in an accident. My help comes the Lord.
This song has been my guiding light and comfort for the last month but more so since October 26 when she almost died in the accident.
