The Celebration Hymnal ‎#139

139. Great Is Thy Faithfulness

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 has been, Thou forever wilt 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!

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]

3 Pardon for sin and an 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! [Refrain]
