Day by Day

I said I was getting comfort out of some the old hymns. This is another I love. This one I learned to love during a hard time in our family's lives and it gave me great comfort then. My brother John and sister-in-law Judie lost a little girl due to being born premature. Her name was Heather, she only lived 8 hours. They had two sons Jonathan and Joshua, and later two more Adam and Aaron. Judie wanted a little girl so much. God gave her one, but for such a short little while. Some day in heaven they will be together again, never to be separated!!



Day by Day



Day by day, and with each passing moment,

Strenght 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.



Every day the Lord Himself is with 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, they strenght 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 I cross the promised land
