June 10, 2012 - Hymn Spotlight

Great is Thy Faithfulness

     Kentucky native Thomas Chisholm (1866-1960) authored around 1200 poems, among them his best-known text Great Is Thy Faithfulness. About his text, Chisholm wrote, "My income has not been large at any time due to impaired health in the earlier years which has followed me on until now. Although I must not fail to record here the unfailing faithfulness of a covenant-keeping God [who] has given me many wonderful displays of His providing care, for which I am filled with astonishing gratefulness."
     Great Is Thy Faithfulness is hymn of praise to a God who works in simple, everyday ways - a God who has never failed us in the past, giving us no reason to doubt God’s faithfulness in the future.
