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 hath provided–
great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!

sun, moon and stars in their courses above,
join with all nature in manifold witness
to Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love. [Refrain]

Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside! [Refrain]
