Great is God’s Faithfulness!
When the subject of the faithfulness
of God comes up, the beautiful hymn “Great is Thy Faithfulness” may come to
your thoughts. The history of the old hymn is interesting. According to Wikipedia:
Thomas Chisholm wrote the poem in 1923 about God's
faithfulness over his lifetime. He sent the words to William Runyan in Kansas,
who was affiliated with both the Moody
Bible Institute and Hope
Publishing Company. Runyan set the
poem to music, and it was published that same year. It soon became popular
among church groups. The song was exposed to wide audiences after becoming a
favorite of Dr. William Henry Houghton of the Moody Bible Institute and Billy
Graham, who used the song frequently on his international crusades.
Let the words of the great hymn sink deep into your heart.
The first verse says:
|
“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! |
