"Day by Day" is a folk rock ballad from the 1971 Stephen Schwartz and John-Michael Tebelak musical "GODSPELL". It is the third song in the show's score and is reprised as the closing number for the 1973 film version. The song's refrain follows a prayer ascribed to the 13th-century English bishop Saint Richard of Chichester, but more closely to the wording in Hymn 429 of the 1940 Hymnal: "Day by day, Dear Lord, of thee three things I pray: To see thee more clearly, Love thee more dearly, Follow thee more nearly, Day by day." This lovely song starts as a gentle waltz but then picks up the tempo, giving your band an opportunity to rock out and even clap along, which will hopefully encourage your audience to do the same!
