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.

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.

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.

This song says it all; it reminds me how good, gracious and giving God is and that He is and will always be with me as this is His promise to me.

I was reading in Hebrews 11 about the saints and their faith to meet each trial with strength from Him. This song came to mind. What a blessing it is to read these comments and to know that we all share this same faith and are given His strength to live life Day by Day.

We sang this song in church today. The words really touched my heart. Even in the midst of our trials, He is always here.

One of the most precious spiritual songs that God gave me after I was saved by the awesome grace of God. I wish I learnt the words by heart and kept singing it all through the day.

Precious words!! Some of my earliest memories are of my parents singing this as a duet. Everyone who knows them attaches this song to them. They have sung it for years. This last year has been so terribly difficult for them...for us. Yet the truth of this song shines bright in the midst of the storm, bringing comfort and hope. Thank you mom and dad for living and singing His truths.

The Lord brought this melody to me a few times recently, then today I heard it sung on the radio, so felt He was trying to give me a message. On your website I was able to read the lyrics and see the message He had for me. Thank you for providing this service.

This song came as a reminder of God's word to me in a time of trials. "Everyday the Lord Himself is near me," is the sweetest words of protection that I have ever heard. Thanks and praises to Jehovah Jireh.
