Great Is Thy faithfulness (Hymn)

"Great Is Thy Faithfulness" is a beloved Christian hymn that has touched the hearts of many believers around the world. Written by Thomas O. Chisholm in 1923, this hymn is a heartfelt expression of gratitude and awe for God's unwavering faithfulness. Chisholm wrote the lyrics as a reflection on God's constancy and provision throughout his own life, despite his struggles with health and finances. The hymn was later set to music by William M. Runyan, and it quickly became a favorite in churches and worship services.
The lyrics of "Great Is Thy Faithfulness" draw heavily from Lamentations 3:22-23 (NIV), which says, "Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." Each verse of the hymn emphasizes different aspects of God's faithfulness, such as His creation, His provision, and His unchanging nature. The chorus echoes the theme, reminding believers that God's faithfulness is great and unwavering. This hymn encourages believers to trust in God's steadfast love and to find comfort in His eternal faithfulness, no matter the circumstances.
