Introx2/Interludes: E A C#m B
E A
Day by day and with each passing moment
B E
Strength I find to meet my trials here;
C#m A
Trusting in my Father's wise bestowment,
B E
I've no cause for worry or for fear.
E A
He's whose heart is kind beyond all measure
B E
Gives unto each day what He deems best,
C#m A
Lovingly, its part of pain and pleasure,
B E
Mingling toil with peace and rest.
​
E A
Everyday the Lord Himself is near me
B E
With a special mercy for each hour;
C#m A
All my cares he gladly bears and cheers me,
B E
He whose name is Counselor and Power
E A
The protection of His child and treasure
B E
Is a charge that on Himself He laid;
C#m A
"As thy days, your strength shall be in measure,"
B E
This the pledge to me he has made.
​
​
E A
Help me then in every tribulation
B E
So to trust your promises, O Lord,
C#m A
That I lose not faith's sweet consolation
B E
Offered me within your holy Word.
E A
Help me Lord, when toil and trouble meeting,
B E
E'er to take, as from a father's hand,
C#m A
One by one, the day, the moments fleeting,
B E
'Til I reach the promised land.
