Ev’ry day, with all its pain and pleasure, Mingles tears with peace and rest. Day by day, the Lord is ever near me, Granting loving mercies for each hour, And my care He gladly bears, and cheers me With His counsel pure and holy pow’r. I’ll not fear for what may come tomorrow, Though the path ahead I cannot see. He assures that in all joy or sorrow, “As thy days, thy strength shall be.” Help me rest in quiet consolation. Help me trust Thy promises, O Lord. When I’m faced with daily tribulation, Help me find the strength to live Thy word. Then, dear Lord, when toil and trouble find me, Hold me steadfast in Thy pow’rful hand. Day by day, Thy strength will bear me kindly Till I reach the promised land.
