“Day by Day and with Each Passing Moment” – Trinity Psalter Hymnal #255 – Brian Cochran

The following song is one of the hymns we sang this morning at church. As I sang along, I noticed the precious words about a very important aspect of the Christian race, dealing with trials.

I was happy that Brian had recorded it at his site (linked below). I can sing along with someone playing an instrument, but find it nearly impossible without someone leading. If you’re the same way, then perhaps you can sing along while you listen to him singing. I think that singing hymns is a good way to warm up your heart for Bible reading, prayer….

Lyrics:

Day by Day and with Each Passing Moment

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, its part of pain and pleasure,

mingling toil with peace and rest.

Ev’ry 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 your days, your strength shall be in measure,”

this the pledge to me he made.

Help me then in ev’ry tribulation

so to trust your promises, O Lord,

that I lose not faith’s sweet consolation

offered me within your 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,

’til I reach the promised land. [End]
