Great is Thy Faithfulness, O God my Father. There is no shadow of turning with Thee. Thou changes not, thy compassion they fail not. As Thou has been for ever will be. Morning by morning new mercies I see. All I have needed Thy hands hath provided .

Praise God, what a declaration of one's faith. This Hymn is in 3/4 time which means there are three Crotchet/Quarter notes in a measure.
