Date: Author: Music:	1893 Daniel W. Whittle May W. Moody
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 Im kept in His love; Moment by moment Ive life from above; Looking to Jesus till glory doth shine; Moment by moment, O Lord, I am Thine. 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, Im under His care. Refrain Never a heartache, and never a groan, Never a teardrop and never a moan; Never a danger but there on the throne, Moment by moment He thinks of His own. Refrain 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 Story: It was during the great Worlds Fair evangelistic campaign. Mr. Moody and his workers were gathered at the close of the day, as their custom was, in the famous evangelists room, for a word of prayer together. The hymn, I need Thee every hour, had been announced. When the singing of it ceased, Mr. Henry Varley, the English evangelist, said: Im not sure that I can subscribe heartily to that sentiment. I feel that I need Christ moment by moment. The thought impressed Major D. W. Whittle, and at the close of the prayer season he went to his room, and, prompted by the Holy Spirit, he wrote and rewrote and wrote again, and at 2 oclock in the morning the new song was in complete form.
