Classic Poem

Day by day, oh Master, make me
With that blessed life of Thine,
Day by day, oh Lord, enfold me
With Thy mighty grace divine.
Day by day, oh Saviour, take me
For Thy servant, willing, free,
Day by day, oh Master, make me
All that Thou wouldst have me be.
Day by day, oh Saviour, keep me
Just abiding in Thy love,
Simply trusting and obeying,
Looking unto Thee above.
Day by day, oh Saviour, give me
All the strength I need so much,
And with Thee and Thy blest Spirit,
Ever keep me, Lord, in touch.
Day by day, to fight the battle,
Day by day, Thy will to do,
Day by day, the cross to carry,
Seeking only to be true.
Help me, Lord, to leave the future
Safe within Thy hands for aye,
Trusting Thee, Lord, to renew me,
Living simply day by day.
