Strength for Today and Bright Hope for Tomorrow!

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.

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! 

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. 

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! 

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! 
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!

Psalm 131
O Lord, 
my heart is not proud, 
nor my eyes haughty;

Nor do I involve myself 
in great matters,
Or in things too difficult for me.

Surely I have composed
and quieted my soul;

Like a weaned child 
rests against his mother,
My soul is like a weaned child 
within me.

O Israel, hope in the Lord
From this time forth and forever.
