Great is Thy faithfulness

Our study today was about a great old hymn. Many Biblical truths are found in it.  Can you see them? 

Great Is Thy Faithfulness Thomas O. Chisholm, 1923  

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 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. 

Refrain

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!

Refrain

Great is God's faithfulness!  What does this song say? God is always faithful, and constant, and compassionate, and eternal, and merciful, and generous, and loving. God is so faithful. Nature is a witness to his faithfulness, mercy, and love. Who can be more faithful than God? He gave us Christ for the forgiveness of our sins; He is with us always; Our strength can be found in Him; He is our hope; He bestows blessings on us more than we know or will understand (think "hind-site"). Great is God's faithfulness!
