Great Is Thy Faithfulness

I found myself listening to an old hymn this morning.  The song was written in 1923, though it seems timeless – perhaps because it is a spinoff from Lamentations 3:22-23: “It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed.  Because his compassions they fail not.  They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.”

“Great is Thy faithfulness.  Great is Thy faithfulness.  Morning by morning new mercies I see.  All that I needed Thy hand hath provided.  Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord unto me.”

Indeed.  Here we are, 16 years from 9/11.  “[H]is compassions they fail not.  They are new every morning.”
