GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS | FIRST REDEEMER ORCHESTRA
Arranged by Don Marsh from the hymn written by Thomas Chisholm

The hymn "Great Is Thy Faithfulness" was written by Thomas O. Chisholm in 1923, and it has since become one of the most beloved and popular hymns in the Christian tradition.

Chisholm was born in a log cabin in Franklin, Kentucky in 1866, and he lived a simple life as a farmer and insurance agent. Despite his humble background and lack of formal theological training, Chisholm had a deep faith and a gift for writing poetry and hymns.

"Great Is Thy Faithfulness" was inspired by the book of Lamentations in the Old Testament, specifically chapter 3, verses 22-23, which read: "The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness."

Chisholm wrote the lyrics as a reflection on God's unchanging love and faithfulness, even in the midst of life's trials and challenges. The hymn's three stanzas each focus on a different aspect of God's faithfulness: His constancy, His compassion, and His provision.

The melody for "Great Is Thy Faithfulness" was composed by William M. Runyan, a musician and composer who worked for the Moody Bible Institute. Runyan's melody perfectly captures the hymn's theme of steadfastness and trust in God.

The hymn was first published in 1923 in the hymnal "Songs of Victory," and it quickly gained popularity in churches around the world. Over the years, it has been translated into numerous languages and recorded by countless artists.

"Great Is Thy Faithfulness" has endured as a beloved hymn because of its timeless message of God's unfailing love and faithfulness. Its simple yet powerful lyrics and beautiful melody continue to inspire and comfort Christians around the world.
