22. Every-Day Salvation

1 Ev’ry day salvation,—this is what I need,
Trusting in my Savior, for his grace I plead;
Strength for common duties, and recurring cares,
Balm for little heartaches,—he the burden bears.

Chorus:
Ev’ryday,
Bless me now, I pray,
Ev’ry-day salvation,
Jesus all the way!

2 Ev’ry day salvation from the foes I meet,
Sins that oft beset me, thorns that wound my feet;
Weights that draw me downward,—O how many snares!
Jesus must be with me, prompt and answer pray’rs. [Chorus]

3 Ev’ry day salvation, this is help indeed!
Guidance for my footsteps, he will “gently lead;”
Proving as I journey, wisdom, love and pow’r,
Always at my service thro’ each passing hour. [Chorus]

4 Ev’ry day salvation—sweet the morning chime,
Telling that His mercy changes not with time;
Ev’ry day salvation—sweet the vesper bell,
Light will shine at evening; evermore ‘tis well. [Chorus]
