Hymn of the Week--Day by Day

Hymn of the Week
Day by Day
Words by Karolina W. Sandell-Berg
Music by Andrew L. Skoog

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.

What precious words...trusting in my Father's wise bestowment, I've no cause for worry or for fear!! I'm so thankful that God has made that a reality in my own life. God is good, all the time!! Thanks for the hymn of the week Andrew. I sure love it!

Tricia--
I love "Jesus Paid it All." Thus my choice to include on the Quartet CD.

Andy--"Day by Day" must come from your Swedish heritage. There are lots of Swedes who would name this one as their favorite! We sang this a lot in my childhood church. I can hear it now.

Hi Andy (and Amanda :)
Say "thanks" to Amanda for me for the note that she sent me. It was so good to hear from her :) Wish we lived closer to you guys, but at some point I hope we can see you all. I'd love to talk to Amanda some day here soon.... Is there a night/time that would be good to call some day? I know I don't have much time to talk on the phone these days and am sure it's the same there :) Have a good weekend.
