Day by Day                           100

(by Lina Sandell Berg; translated by Andrew L. Skoog; music by Oscar 
Ahnfelt) 

1. 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. 

2. Ev'ry 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. 

3. 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 I reach the 
   Promised Land.
