When the sha­dows thick­ly ga­ther,
Clouding all thy on­ward way,
Think not what shall be to­mor­row;
Seek God’s help just for to­day.

Refrain

Step by step He leads me on­ward,
Step by step the way re­veals;
But what in the fu­ture li­eth,
In His mer­cy He con­ceals.

Should the com­ing days bring bur­dens,
Or be fraught with grief or care,
Trust Him in the hour of tr­ial,
He will make thee strong to bear.

Refrain

Daily strength He ev­er giv­eth,
For each day rich grace be­stows;
And each mor­row, as it dawn­eth,
Still His lov­ing­kind­ness shows.

Refrain

Then why should we shrink or fal­ter
When the on­ward path looks dim,
Knowing light will nev­er fail us
While we walk by faith with Him?
