Great Is Thy Faithfulness

1. 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 has been, thou forever will 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!

2.  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.

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!

 3. Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,


    Thine own great presence to cheer and to guide;


    Strength for today, and bright hope for tomorrow


     Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside.

 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!
