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.
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,
Thy own dear presence to cheer and to guide.
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow-
Blessings all mine with ten thousand beside!
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.
This is my dear Mom's favorite hymn! I just wanted to share the beautiful words with you today. May you discover the wonderful mercies of Jesus every day!

I don't think we ever sing that at the Baptist church I go to. It's beautiful tho.
Great picture and I LOVE that hymn. Good memories.
Much love,
Angela
Thank you (and your mom) for reminding me about that hymn. I'll be singing it tonight and tomorrow. (sometimes songs stick in my mind...and I can't get them out. This hymn--I HOPE it gets stuck in my mind.
Dot, we sing a combination of hymns and choruses at our little Bible church. The choruses are partly because of me and a few other youngens... but I love both. The hymns (for the most part) have a rich heritage and depth to their words. I happen to like the contemporary sounding music, but as I've grown older, I appreciate the soundness of the older music. Very Christ centered.
Angela, thanks. And me too. Our God is faithful, Amen?!
Sharon, yes, my dear mom. Oh what a beautiful example of faithfulness to our God she is. And this song is a good one to get stuck in your head :) Much love my friend. Have a great Lord's day. I'm off to get ready for church.
