Lyrics to the hymn, Great Is Thy Faithfulness



 Hello, hello, friends.

I am a Mother of Gooses, and today we are looking at the hymn, Great Is Thy Faithfulness.

Written by Thomas O. Chisholm in 1923, it is one of the most beautiful hymns in the world, and a very good reminder that, even in these war-torn times, God is with us and takes care of our problems, no matter how big they are.

If you don't know how the tune goes, find Carrie Underwood's version on YouTube. She sang a duet with CeCe Winans, and she did a good job.

Now, on with the show!


Verse 1

Great is thy faithfulness,

Oh 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.

Chorus

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, onto me.

Verse 2

Summer and winter,

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.

Chorus 

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, onto me.

Verse 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.

Chorus

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, onto me.


And that's it! Isn't it nice?

You don't have to answer me.

Have a good day, and, remember: God loves you, he will feed you and clothe you and house you. Great, great is his faithfulness.

It's hard to remember that sometimes. And I take so much for granted and I don't truly appreciate things I have; I know this. It's something to change.

Introduction  Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where I write the lyrics to hymns, and the occasional recipe. Today, the hymn we are looking at is called This Is My Father's World; it was written in 1901 by a Mr. Maltbie Davenport Babcock. It was originally a poem with sixteen verses, but when it was set to music, only three verses were chosen. A tree and a bush Someday I might do the whole poem, but today, I'm just going to do the three that I know. Let me know if you want me to do the whole poem. Go to YouTube and look up Folksandhymns to find the tune. Now, on with the show! The Lyrics  Verse 1 This is my Father's world; And to my listening ears, All nature sings  And 'round me rings  The music of the spheres. This is my Father's world;  I rest me in the thought Of rocks and trees, Of skies and seas. His hand the wonders wrought. Verse 2 This is my Father's world; The birds, their carols raise. The morning light,  The lily...
