Great Is Thy Faithfulness
words by Thomas O. Chisholm, music by William M. Runyan


Verse 1:

D            G             A7       D
Great is thy faithfulness, O God my Father,

G           D         E            A
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;

A7            D                         Gmaj7  Em7
Thou changest not, Thy compassions they fail   not

G#dim       D         A       A7   D
As Thou has been Thou forever wilt be.


Chorus:

A            D
Great is Thy faithfulness!

B            Em
Great is Thy faithfulness!

A7         D           A       E7  A
Morning by morning new mercies I   see.

A7         D                       Em7
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided

G#dim        D                    A7  D
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord unto  me.


Verse 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.

repeat Chorus


Verse 3:

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!

repeat Chorus
