Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
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 hast been, Thou forever wilt be.
Great is Thy faithfulness!
2. Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest,Sun, moon, and stars in their courses aboveJoin with all nature in manifold witnessTo Thy great faithfulness, mercy, and love.
Great is Thy faithfulness!
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—Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!
Great is Thy faithfulness!
