about

[from Wikipedia]
Thomas O. Chisholm wrote the poem in 1923 about God's faithfulness over his lifetime. Chisholm sent the song to William Runyan in Kansas, who was affiliated with both the Moody Bible Institute and Hope Publishing Company. Runyan set the poem to music, and it was published that same year by Hope Publishing Company and became popular among church groups.[1] The Biblical lyrics reference Lamentations 3:22-23.[2] The song was exposed to wide audiences after becoming popular with Dr. William Henry Houghton of the Moody Bible Institute and Billy Graham, who used the song frequently on his international crusades.[3] Since the middle 20th century, this hymn has been the university hymn of Cairn University. In 2019, the song entered the public domain in the United States.[4]

lyrics

Great is Thy Faithfulness
Words: Thomas O. Chisholm
Music: Carey Loomis

Great is thy faithfulness O God my Father,
There is no shadow of turning with Thee.
Thou changest not, Thy compassions fail not,
As Thou hast been Thou forever will 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, 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.

Chorus

Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide.
Strength for today, bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine with ten thousand beside.

Chorus
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided.
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me.
