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. |

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. |

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. |

Last weekend we sang this song in church. My sisters and I were spending the weekend together for possibly the last time. I cried with gratitude that our Heavenly Father will be caring for Linda every day and giving her just what she needs as she ends her life on this earth. How our hearts are longing for heaven where there is no more death or sorrow and God Himself will wipe away our tears!

I read all these comments from a family of other Christian souls who struggle with family Issues and trials here, along with pain and suffering. This song has always touched me in a great way..It talks about the strength that the Lord Jesus gives us to endure and glorify Him while we are here. I have some physical pain right now, and concern for my wife, who is undergoing tests..Thanks for this encouragement...

As I was trying to sing Day by Day to a friend dying of cancer I forgot the verses. Another person in their late 70's quickly found them on Google.
I then could finish singing the song to my friend. I am thankful for being able to do this. Thank you.

I lost my first daughter Laura by illness. Then 3 years later my youngest child and daughter JENI died suddenly in a car accident. Her name in Chinese is "ZHEN-NIE" which means "Treasured LIttle One". She was my "treasure girl". So, I was surprised to find this hymn the day before her funeral. it was very difficult but I was able to sing this old time hymn - as it comforted me so much because of the words:
"His protection for His child and TREASURE
Is a charge that on Himself he laid."
I choose to trust in HIS LOVE - THAT HE ALREADY PAID THE PRICE FOR HER - AND SHE IS WITH HIM - HIS TREASURED CHILD. I will find my loved ones again because of Jesus paying the price through death to ransom them.

This is a song I used to sing a lot when my late father was sick. I used to find the message quite tailored for my situation then. I still love the song and sing it quite oftenly whenever I am in a bad situation. The words, He, whose heart is kind beyond all measure, Gives unto each day what He deems best, Lovingly its part of pain and pleasure; The protection of His child and treasure, Is a charge that on Himself He laid; “As thy days, thy strength shall be in measure,” 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. I get my comfort from these words... a hymn tailored for the brokern hearted. More than a sermon...

One of my favorites, the words and the music, beautiful melody, true, true words. I'm using it again in a devotion next week.

Many a times we cast our hearts in the midst of despair..a time like this this song comes to my mind which each word penned down that day by He holds my hand and since He promised I will keep on going forward.

I thank each of your for testimony of our Lord's faithfulness to you in your trials. It has been the same with me over my lifetime and especially in these most recent years, even through a rare and dangerous cancer, stage 3c. Your words of hope, strength and comfort have blessed me beyond words. I was once a church organist, and I know this blessed hymn well. And I have lived it, too, along with you. Lord Jesus, please keep us close to your precious side through it all.
