One of my favorite hymns, written by Karolina Sandell-Berg in 1865
Day by Day
Day by day, and with each passing moment,Day by Day
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.
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...
This song was inspired by 2 Corinthians 4:16, "Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly, we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day."
