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 has 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 has provided;
great is thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!
3. 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, blessing all mine, with
ten thousand beside!

Morning by morning new mercies I see;
all I have needed thy hand has provided;
great is thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!

Holy, holy, holy. My heart, my heart adores you! My

Epistle Lesson: …… 2 Timothy 2:8-15…………Ian D.
2:8 Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, a descendant of David–that is my gospel, 2:9 for which I suffer hardship, even to the point of being chained like a criminal. But the word of God is not chained.
2:10 Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect, so that they may also obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory. 2:11 The saying is sure: If we have died with him, we will also live with him; 2:12 if we endure, we will also reign with him; if we deny him, he will also deny us; 2:13 if we are faithless, he remains faithful– for he cannot deny himself.
2:14 Remind them of this, and warn them before God that they are to avoid wrangling over words, which does no good but only ruins those who are listening. 2:15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved by him, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly explaining the word of truth.
