Verse 1:
A   A7 D                 A   D   Em
Day by day and with each passing moment,
E          A            Amaj7   A7     D
Strength I find to meet my      trials here;
A   A7   D              A    D Em
Trusting in my Father’s wise bestowment,
E       A            Amaj7  A7     D
I’ve no cause for worry     or for fear.
A        D                    Dmaj7  G
He whose heart is kind beyond all measure
E       A           Amaj7  A7       D
Gives unto each day what   he deems best.
A  A7 D               A    D   Em
Lovingly, its part of pain and pleasure,
E        A           Amaj7  A7  D
Mingling toil with peace    and rest.

Verse 2:
A  A7 D               A    D  Em
Every day the Lord himself is near me,
E      A             Amaj7 A7   D
With a special mercy for   each hour;
A   A7 D               A     D   Em
All my cares he gladly bears and cheers me,
E        A              Amaj7 A7      D
He whose name is Coun – se -  lor and Power.
A      D                    Dmaj7   G
The protection of his child and treasure
E    A              Amaj7 A7      D
Is a charge that on him - self he laid:
A   A7   D                         A  D  Em
“As your days, your strength shall be in measure” -
E        A         Amaj7 A7   D
This the pledge to me    he   made.


Verse 3:
A    A7 D             A     D    Em
Help me then in every tri – bu – la - tion
E     A                Amaj7 A7     D
So to trust your pro – mi -  ses, O Lord,
A    A7 D                      A   D  Em
That I  lose not faith’s sweet con-so-la-tion
E       A         Amaj7 A7   D
Offered me within your  holy Word.
A        D                       Dmaj7  G
Help me, Lord, when toil and trouble meeting,
E       A             Amaj7  A7       D
E'er to take, as from a      father’s hand,
A   A7 D                  A D     Em
One by one, the days, the moments fleeting,
E      A         Amaj7 A7 D
Till I reach the promised land.
