1 Dying with Jesus, by death reckoned mine;
Living with Jesus, a new life divine;
Looking to Jesus till glory doth shine,
Moment by moment, O Lord, I am thine.
Refrain:
Moment by moment I’m kept in his love;
Moment by moment I’ve life from above;
Looking to Jesus till glory doth shine;
Moment by moment, O Lord, I am thine.
2 Never a trial that he is not there,
Never a burden that he doth not bear,
Never a sorrow that he doth not share,
Moment by moment, I’m under his care. [Refrain]
3 Never a weakness that he doth not feel,
Never a sickness that he cannot heal;
Moment by moment, in woe or in weal,
Jesus, my Savior, abides with me still. [Refrain]
Daniel W. Whittle
Hymns for the Family of God
<idle musing>
The words sound trite, but that doesn't detract from their truth. It's not a very popular hymn, only occurring in about 150 hymnals. I don't recall ever singing it. Seems the author also published under the pseudonym El Nathan. Not a whole lot more is known about him.
