Day By Day chords by Lina Sandell

Verse 1:
 D                                 Em
Day by day, and with each passing moment,
            A       A7             D
Strength I find to meet my trials here
                                Em
Trusting in my Father's wise bestowment
          A        A7
I've no cause for worry or for fear
                                   G
He whose heart is wise beyond all measure
        A        A7                D
Gives unto each day what He deems best
                                Em
Lovingly, its part of pain and pleasure
          A          A7
Mingling toil with peace and rest

Verse 2:
 D                             Em
Every day the Lord Himself is near me,
        A      A7              D
With a special mercy for each hour;
                                     Em
All my cares He fain would bear and cheer me,
          A        A7
He whose name is Counsellor and Pow’r.
                                  G
The protection of His child and treasure
        A        A7             D
Is a charge that on Himself He laid;
                                        G
“As thy days, thy strength shall be in measure,”
           A       A7
This the pledge to me He made.

Verse 3:
D                           Em
Help me then, in every tribulation,
        A         A7         D
So to trust Thy promises, O Lord,
                                   Em
That I lose not faith’s sweet consolation,
        A         A7
Offered me within Thy holy Word.
                                      G
Help me, Lord, when toil and trouble meeting,
         A        A7              D
E’er to take, as from a father’s hand,
                                    G
One by one, the days, the moments fleeting,
           A          A7
