Great Is Thy Faithfulness

Great is Thy faithfulness, O God our 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.

Refrain:

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.

Summer and winter and spring-time and harvest,

Sun, moon and stars in their courses above,

Join with all nature in manifold witness

To thy great faithfulness, mercy and love. (Refrain)

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,

Wondrous the portion thy blessings provide. (Refrain)
