Great is Thy Faithfulness Oh God Thou changes not and are forever

Great is Thy Faithfulness, O God my Father. There is no shadow of turning with Thee. Thou changes t 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.
