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.
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!
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.
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!
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!
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!
“Morning by morning new mercies I see…”
Thomas Chisholm lived with chronic illness and financial instability. He never achieved worldly success, yet his life became a quiet testimony of God’s steady provision.
Instead of focusing on what he lacked, Chisholm looked at what never changed—God’s faithfulness. Each morning, each breath, each small provision became evidence of a faithful God.
This hymn invites us to shift our perspective. Faithfulness is not always dramatic—it is often daily. And God meets us there, again and again.
Scripture: Lamentations 3:22-23 — “Because of the Lord’s faithful love we do not perish… His mercies are new every morning.”
Ask yourself:
- Where have you seen God’s faithfulness in small, daily ways?
- Why do we often overlook “ordinary” mercies?
- How can remembering the past strengthen your faith today?
