Great is Thy Faithfulness

Where we used to live in North Texas, we had gorgeous sunsets a good 80% of the time. Down here in Northwest Houston, not so much. I think it has something to do with the windy, dusty conditions on the plains of North Texas...

Anyhow, every once in a while, we have a lovely sunset down here. Tonight was one of those nights = )

For some reason, whenever I see a beautiful sunset, I spontaneously start singing Great is Thy Faithfulness...

"Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father,
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not, Thy compassions they fail not;
As Thou hast been Thou forever wilt be.

Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.

Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,
Thy own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!

Great is Thy faithfulness, great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see;
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided-
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!"
