“God is my shelter, a consistently present assistance in period of scarcity,” declares Hymn 46.
Like the Psalmist, there was once a youthful Swedish woman who learned right off the bat in life to trust in the Master’s power every day to assist her with beating her difficulties and difficulties.
Carolina Sandell Berg was brought into the world on October 3, l832, and her name was Carolina Sandell Berg.
She grew up to turn into Sweden’s most renowned writer of Gospel psalms, composing so many that she is regularly alluded to as “the Fanny Crosby of Sweden.” *
Carolina, in the same way as other Christians, understood that when misfortune and distress happen, God might utilize the experience to reinforce our confidence. Carolina, or Lina (articulated Untruth nah) as she like to be called, was 26 when she saw a fiasco that steered her life until the end of time.
She was crossing a Swedish lake with her dad, a Lutheran minister. Out of nowhere, the boat reeled, and her dad was pushed over the edge and died directly before her eyes.
Lina had recently written psalms, however presently she spilled out her broke heart in an endless surge of dazzling songs. Her psalms fundamentally affected the enlivening that cleared over Scandinavia after l850.
LYRICS
Day by day and with each passing moment,
Strength I find to meet my trials here;
Trusting in my Father’s wise bestowment,
I’ve no cause for worry or for fear.
He whose heart is kind beyond all measure
Gives unto each day what He deems best–
Lovingly, its part of pain and pleasure,
Mingling toil with peace and rest.
Ev’ry day the Lord Himself is near me
With a special mercy for each hour;
All my cares He fain would bear, and cheer me,
He whose name is Counselor and Pow’r.
The protection of His child and treasure
Is a charge that on Himself He laid;
“As thy days, thy strength shall be in measure,”
This the pledge to me He made.
