Great Is Thy Faithfulness - A Meditative Solo Rendition 🎵

Enjoy the timeless hymn Great Is Thy Faithfulness with a moving meditative solo rendition. This beloved hymn was originally written as a poem by Thomas Obadiah Chisholm, a Methodist minister, in 1923. Chisholm, who penned hundreds of Christian poems, drew inspiration from Lamentations 3:23: "Great is thy faithfulness."
The music for this hymn was composed by William M. Runyan, a musician at the Moody Bible Institute. Their collaboration, though from a distance, was marked by a remarkable friendship-Chisholm was blind and Runyan was deaf, yet they shared a deep connection through their faith and art.
Popularized by the Moody Bible Institute and Billy Graham’s crusades, Great Is Thy Faithfulness has become a comforting anthem for believers, especially in times of loss. The hymn’s verses reflect powerful scriptural allusions, with the first stanza referring to James 1:17, Revelation 1:4, 1:8, 4:8, and Hebrews 13:8, and the second stanza evoking the beauty of nature as described in Psalm 19:1 and Psalm 98:7-8.
Lyrics:
Verse 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.
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, unto me!
Verse 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.
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, unto 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, unto me!
