Day by day, and with each passing moment

1
Day by day, and with each passing moment,
Strength 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.
2
Every day the Lord Himself is near 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, thy strength shall be in measure,"
This the pledge to me He made.
3
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 with Christ the Lord I stand.

My aunt, who was a missionary to India 42 years, and I would sing this together in our phone devotions each night. Wonderful memories bring tears to my eyes.

The lyrics of the song is very refreshing to the mind. I remember during my giant trial the Lord He stays by me, I feel confident and still could focus on my work. Truly He is very kind and desires only the best for His children. On the cross He has paid my cares and concerns too, so I have His peace instead. I'm glad to hear I am His treasure. To God be the glory!
