Day by Day

Words by Carolina S. Berg (trans. By Andres L. Skoog) Music by Oscan Ahnfelt

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, it’s 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 cared He fain would bear and cheer me, He whose name is Counselor 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 World
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 I reach the promised land.
