Kekuatan Serta Penghiburan (KJ 332)

Kekuatan serta penghiburan

diberikan Tuhan padaku

Tiap hari aku dibimbingNya

Tiap jam dihibur hatiku

Dan sesuai dengan hikmat Tuhan

Ku dib'rikan apa yang perlu

Suka dan derita bergantian

memperkuat imanku

Tiap hari Tuhan besertaku

diberi rahmatNya tiap jam

DiangkatNya bila aku jatuh

dihalauNya musuhku kejam

Yang namaNya Raja Mahakuasa

Bapa yang kekal dan abadi

Mengimbangi duka dengan suka

dan menghibur hati yang sedih

Day By Day

1. 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,

Give unto each day what He deems best,

Lovingly it's part of pain and pleasure,

Mingling toil with peace and rest.

2. Everyday the Lord Himself is near me

With a special mercy for each hour

In my cares He'll gladly share and help me

He whose name is Counselor and Power

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 pledge to me He made.

3. Help me then in every tribulation,

So to trust Your promise, O Lord

That I lost not faith's wise consolation,

Offered me within Your trustful Word.

Help me Lord when toil and trouble meeting,

E're to take, as from a father's hand.

One by one, the days, the moments, fleeting,

Till I reach the best, the promised land.
