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. :2. 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 thy days, thy strength shall be in measure," :This the pledge to me He made. :3. Help me then in eve'ry 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 promised land. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Day by Day (hymn)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
