A A7 D A D Em
Day by day and with each passing moment,
E A Amaj7 A7 D
Strength I find to meet my trials here;
A A7 D A D Em
Trusting in my Father’s wise bestowment,
E A Amaj7 A7 D
I’ve no cause for worry or for fear.
A D Dmaj7 G
He whose heart is kind beyond all measure
E A Amaj7 A7 D
Gives unto each day what he deems best.
A A7 D A D Em
Lovingly, its part of pain and pleasure,
E A Amaj7 A7 D
Mingling toil with peace and rest.
[Verse 2]
A A7 D A D Em
Every day the Lord himself is near me,
E A Amaj7 A7 D
With a special mercy for each hour;
A A7 D A D Em
All my cares he gladly bears and cheers me,
E A Amaj7 A7 D
He whose name is Coun – se - lor and Power.
A D Dmaj7 G
The protection of his child and treasure
E A Amaj7 A7 D
Is a charge that on him - self he laid:

“As your days, your strength shall be in measure” -
E A Amaj7 A7 D
This the pledge to me he made.

A A7 D A D Em
Help me then in every tri – bu – la - tion
E A Amaj7 A7 D
So to trust your pro – mi - ses, O Lord,
A A7 D A D Em
That I lose not faith’s sweet con-so-la-tion
E A Amaj7 A7 D
Offered me within your holy Word.
A D Dmaj7 G
Help me, Lord, when toil and trouble meeting,
E A Amaj7 A7 D
E'er to take, as from a father’s hand,
A A7 D A D Em
One by one, the days, the moments fleeting,
E A Amaj7 A7 D
Till I reach the promised land.
