Representative Text

1 Moment by moment in touch with Thee,
Jesus my Lord, may I ever be;
Earnest in purpose, in word and deed,
Following where Thy dear hand may lead.

Chorus:
Moment by moment Thy voice to hear,
Moment by moment to feel Thee near!
Oh, it is fulness of joy to be
Moment by moment in touch with Thee!

2 Moment by moment, Lord, keep me Thine,
Let Thine own love-light within me shine,
That upon others its beams may fall,
And they may crown Thee the Lord of all. [Chorus]

3 Moment by moment Thine aid I need,
Trying to sow the most precious seed,
That I at last may rejoicing come,
Bringing my sheaves at the harvest-home. [Chorus]
