Great is Thy faithfulness

In 1923 Thomas Chisolm birthed one of the greatest modern hymns regarding the faithfulness of God from this golden text.  In stanza one he writes of God's unchanging character and unfailing compassions.  In stanza two he writes of God's faithfulness in maintaining the order of His universe.  In stanza three he writes of God's faithfulness in forgiving our sins, providing strength for today and hope for tomorrow.  Each stanza leads to the great culminating chorus that declares the victorious words of Jeremiah, "Great is Thy faithfulness."

May we all be transported through prayer and faith from our difficulty to a tranquil state of mind where we too can confidently and gratefully proclaim this to be our personal testimony, "Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord unto me."

Great is Thy faithfulness, O God, my Father, There is no shadow of turning with Thee;

Thou changest not, Thy compassions they fail not; As Thou hast been, Thou forever wilt be.

Summer and winter and springtime and harvest, Sun, moon and stars in their courses above;

Join with all nature in manifold witness, To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.

Pardon for sin And a peace that endureth, Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;

Strength for today And bright hope for tomorrow, Blessings all mine, With ten thousand beside.

Great is Thy faithfulness, Great is Thy faithfulness

Morning by morning new mercies I see

All I have needed Thy hand hath provided

Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me.
