I came looking for a hymn to post this morning, and this was the first one to meet my eye–Day by Day, performed by our own dear friends and colleagues,. Joshua and Jeremy. (There should be lyrics here for you, but don’t blame me if there aren’t: that aspect of the business consistently baffles me.)
Yes, Jesus taught us not to worry about tomorrow. Thanks J & J.
I sing this song often.
I didn’t see any lyrics, so here they are.
Day by Day
1. 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.
2. 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 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.
3. 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 I reach the blessed promised land.
The lyrics were supposed to be displayed in the video, but I guess that didn’t work–so thank you, Mike, for bailing us out.
Thank you for posting the lyrics!
Thank you for posting this, Lee! 😊
