Moment By Moment

Dying with Jesus, by death reckoned mine; Living with Jesus a new life divine; Looking to Jesus till glory doth shine, Moment by moment, O Lord, I am Thine. |
Moment by moment I’m kept in His love, Moment by moment I’ve life from above; Looking to Jesus till glory doth shine; Moment by moment, O Lord, I am Thine. |

Never a battle with wrong for the right, Never a contest that He doth not fight; Lifting above us His banner so white; Moment by moment I’m kept in His sight. |
3
|
Never a trial that He is not there, Never a burden that He doth not bear; Never a sorrow that He doth not share, Moment by moment, I’m under His care. |
4
|
Never a heartache, and never a groan, Never a teardrop, and never a moan; Never a danger but there on the throne Moment by moment He thinks of His own. |
5
|
Never a weakness that He doth not feel, Never a sickness that He cannot heal; Moment by moment, in woe or in weal, Jesus, my Savior, abides with me still. |

Story about this hymn by Sankey (from hymntime. com):
While I was attending the World’s Fair in Chicago, Henry Varley, a lay preacher from London, said to Major Whittle: I do not like the hymn ‘I need Thee every hour’ very well, because I need Him every moment of the day. Soon after Major Whittle wrote this sweet hymn…[He] brought the hymn to me in manuscript a little later, saying that he would give me the copyright of both the words and music if I would print for him five hundred copies on fine paper, for distributing among his friends. His daughter, May Whittle, who later became the wife of Will R. Moody, composed the music. I did as Mr. Whittle wished; and I sent the hymn to England, where it was copyrighted on the same day as at Washington. In England the hymn became very popular. Falling into the hands of the well-known Rev. Andrew Murray, of South Africa, then visiting London, he adopted it as his favorite hymn. A year later Mr. Murray visited Northfield [Massachusetts], and while holding a meeting for men in the church he remarked, If Sankey only knew a hymn which I found in London, and would sing it, he would find that it embraces my entire creed. I was very anxious to know what hymn it was, and when he had recited it I said to him: Doctor, that hymn was written within five hundred yards of where we are standing. For years Dr. Murray had his wife sing this hymn in nearly all his meetings. It also became a great favorite in South Africa during the war. Sankey, pp. 190–91

Thank you indeed for uploading this song which I heard at a conference for the first time around 1981.
I had the refrain off head but have been looking for the complete lyrics since then until Sunday, April 24, 2016.
The hymn ministered to me then and still does.
All conditions bow to the name of Jesus. Php. 2:8-11. Glory to His name.
The Lord with whom there is no unrighteousness shall not forget your labor of love.

He wants us to know Him moment by moment. To cast our cares upon Him and sense His tremendous love and sovereign care. This is what it means to abide in Him and enjoy Him in all His rich provision. Praise Him!
