Great Is Thy Faithfulness

Great Is Thy Faithfulness is an old and excellent hymn of the Christian faith. Lately, I’ve been waking up in the morning and reminding myself of the sweet peaceful truth of a promise from God that His mercies are new every morning. It says that in Lamentations 3. The hymn Great Is Thy Faithfulness is written around verses found there. Here are the words that run through my head and encourage me. I have to say them again and again to change a bad attitude that sometimes overwhelms.
. . . All I have need thy hand hath provided
. . . Thou changest not, thy compassions they fail not
. . . Morning by morning new mercies I see

The lyrics of Great Is Thy Faithfulness:


I found the words on the Cyberhymnal website.
Here are the words:
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 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!
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
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!
Refrain
