1 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.
Refrain:
Great is thy faithfulness!
Great is thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see:
all of my blessings thy hand hath 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. [Refrain]
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! [Refrain]

Spanish -
1 Oh, Dios eterno, tu misericordia
ni una sombra de duda tendrá;
tu compasión y bondad nunca fallan
y por los siglos el mismo serás.
Estribillo:
¡Oh tu fidelidad! ¡Oh tu fidelidad!
Cada momento la veo en mí.
Nada me falta, pues todo provees.
¡Grande, Señor, es tu fidelidad!
2 La noche oscura, el sol y la luna,
las estaciones del año también,
unen su canto cual fieles criaturas,
porque eres bueno, por siempre eres fiel. [Estribillo]
3 Tú me perdonas, me impartes el gozo,
tierno me guías por sendas de paz;
eres mi fuerza, mi fe, mi reposo,
y por los siglos mi Padre serás. [Estribillo]

French -
1 Grande fidélité, ō Dieu, mon Pére.
Tu ne te détournes jamais de moi
et tu ne changes pas toujours tu m'aimes.
Comme tu l'étais, toujours tu seras.
Refrain:
Grande fidélité! Grand en fidélité!
Chaque matin tes bienfaits je reçois.
Oui, tu m'as comblé de toute ta bonté.
Grande fidélité, Dieu, envers moi.
2 Toute saison, au printemps ou en été,
méme les étoiles suivent leur cours.
Toute la nature atteste ta bonté
et ta fidélité et ton amour. [Refrain]
3 Tu me pardonnes, ta paix tu m'accordes.
En ta présence, je me réjouis.
Le don du pouvoir et de l'espérance,
toute ta gráce m'a toujours béni. [Refrain]
