\\nDay By Day
\\nLyrics: Karolina Sandell-Berg
\\nMusic: Oskar Ahnfelt
\\nDay by day, and with each passing moment,
\\nStrength I find, to meet my trials here;
\\nTrusting in my Father\'s wise bestowment,
\\nI\'ve no cause for worry or for fear.
\\nHe Whose heart is kind beyond all measure
\\nGives unto each day what He deems best--
\\nLovingly, its part of pain and pleasure,
\\nMingling toil with peace and rest.
\\nEvery day, the Lord Himself is near me
\\nWith a special mercy for each hour;
\\nAll my cares He fain would bear, and cheer me,
\\nHe Whose Name is Counselor and Pow\'r.
\\nThe protection of His child and treasure
\\nIs a charge that on Himself He laid;
\\n"As thy days, thy strength shall be in measure,"
\\nThis the pledge to me He made.
\\nHelp me then in every tribulation
\\nSo to trust Thy promises, O Lord,
\\nThat I lose not faith\'s sweet consolation
\\nOffered me within Thy holy Word.
\\nHelp me, Lord, when toil and trouble meeting,
\\nE\'er to take, as from a father\'s hand,
\\nOne by one, the days, the moments fleeting,
\\nTill I reach the promised land.
