179Irregular
‘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 for ever wilt be.
 
‘Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness!’
Morning by morning new mercies I see;
All I have needed Thy hand has provided—
‘Great is Thy faithfulness,’ Lord, unto me!
 
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.
 
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!
 
Thomas O. Chisholm, 1866-1960
