Each day in sweet com­mun­ion,
With Je­sus now I rise,
And find His ser­vice ev­er
A glad and sweet sur­prise;
Though what each day is bring­ing
My soul may ne­ver guess,
Yet to His cross I’m cling­ing,
And on my way I press.

And day by day I’m learn­ing
That though my earth­ly way
Is oft through sha­dows wind­ing,
’Twill lead to per­fect day;
Each day I know I’m rest­ing
Within His shel­ter­ing arms;
My heart, this thought en­fold­ing,
Is safe from earth’s alarms.

So trust­ing in His mer­cy
And love so mea­sure­less,
Each day my soul is full­er
Of peace and joy­ful­ness;
Each day, while life is giv­en,
Still strong­er would I be,
Till from on high my Sav­ior
Shall say, Come home with Me.
