George Beverly Shea - Day by Day (and with Each Passing Moment)

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 Counselor 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 grief 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.
Till I reach the promised land.
