A lady who has travelled the world for the Lord with her husband likes to ask people, “What is your favourite hymn?” She herself is an outstanding piano player and singer. Two hymns are mentioned again and again.

Can you imagine which hymns that are?

She said, “This morning I am going to sing for you one of the songs. If you want to know the title of the second, you have to come to the afternoon meeting. I did not go to the afternoon meeting. That’s why I can only give you the title of one song.*

Would you have guessed that the name of one hymn is, “GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS?”

There are three verses and the chorus goes like this:

Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness! Morning by morning new mercies I see; all I have needed Thy hand has provided – great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!

The author of the hymn is Thomas Chisholm. He was born in Franklin, Kentucky. He was a school teacher, editor of a Christian paper and an ordained Methodist minister. He wrote more than twelve hundred sacred poems.

*Probably I can find out the title of the second hymn.
