One Day At A Time

One day at a time,

With its failures and fears,

With its hurts and mistakes,

With its weakness and tears,

With its portion of pain

And its burden of care;

One day at a time,

We must meet and bear.

One day at a time

To be patient and strong;

To be calm under trail

And sweet under wrong;

Then its toiling shall pass

And its sorrow shall cease;

It shall darken and die,

And the night shall bring peace.

One day at a time –

But the day is so long,

And the heart is not brave,

And the soul is not strong,

O Thou pitiful Christ,

Be Thou all the way;

Give courage and patience

And strength for the day.

Swift cometh His answer,

So clear and so sweet;

“Yea I will be with thee,

They troubles to meet;

I will not forget thee,

Nor fail thee, nor grieve;

I will not forsake thee,

I never will leave.”

Not yesterday’s load

We are called onto bear,

Nor the morrow’s uncertain

And shadowy care;

Why should we look forward

Or back with dismay?

Our needs, as our mercies,

Are but for the day.

One day at a time,

And the day is His day;

He hath numbered its hours,

Through they haste or delay.

His grace is sufficient;

We walk not alone;

So for today He giveth

The strength that His
