This Hymn came immediately to mind once this Series was started to be taken under development. It simply is one of those Hymns that I cannot happen upon without singing it. The second set of Scripture verses triggered the thought because the last four words are the title of the Hymn and is the basis for the words themselves, Lamentations 3:22-23:
It is of the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
Lamentations 3:22-23 | King James Version
Design Concept
The print for this Series, unfortunately, does not include the sheet music for the Hymn, as it is under standard copyright protection laws. But one can get a copy of it, as long as it is printed in something else… Thus the words are presented in an ornamental package as part of a print, as words and credits only.
HYMN | Great Is Thy Faithfulness
Verse One
“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.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!Verse Two
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.Verse Three
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,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!© 1923. Ren. 1951 Hope Publishing Co., Carol Stream, IL 60188
