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. 
 
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.
