We are building day by day

Hymnary Friends,

Please pardon this brief interruption, and please consider a gift today to support the work of Hymnary.org. Here's why.

Each month half a million people visit this website for free access to the most complete database of North American hymnody on the planet. But this project does not come without a cost, and we have limited sources of revenue. Twice a year we hold a fund drive, and these drives are critical to our future.

So if you benefit from Hymnary.org, would you consider a donation today? Even small amounts help, and they also let us know you're behind us and support what we do.

Click the Donate button below to be taken to a secure giving site. Or you can make your tax-deductible contribution by sending a check to Hymnary.org at 3201 Burton SE, Grand Rapids, MI 49546.

On behalf of the entire Hymnary.org team, our thanks.
Harry Plantinga

Representative Text

1 We are building day by day,
While we onward press our way,
And the thoughts that fill our heart,
Of the building, form a part.

Refrain:
We are building day by day,
As we onward press our way;
Building not for time are we,—
Building for eternity.

2 We are building day by day,
O direct us, Lord, we pray;
If supported by Thy hand,
Surely, then, our house shall stand. [Refrain]

3 We are building day by day,
In the loving words we say,
In the deeds of kindness done,
And the vict’ries we have won. [Refrain]
