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 hast been, thou forever wilt be.

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.

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!

own dear presence to cheer and to guide; strength
for today and bright hope for tomorrow, blessings
all mine, with ten thousand beside!

have needed thy hand hath provided; great
is thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!
