Great Is Thy Faithfulness

Lamentations 3:22-23  It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. 

[23] They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.


Just as every new day brings with it its own set of burdens and problems, so each day witnesses a new, unfailing, all-sufficient, supply of God’s marvelous, matchless, wonderful, amazing grace.


Trust Him. God is faithful. 


Great Is Thy Faithfulness

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.


CHORUS:

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 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!


Thomas O. Chisholm  1923
