 1 

How faithful and trustworthy too,

My Father God, art Thou;

The universe and all therein

Thy faithfulness avow.

 

How steadfast is Thy faithfulness!

For this I worship Thee;

It is established in the heav'n,

And ever stands for me.

 
 2 

No turning shadow could there be,

Nor any change with Thee;

As Thou hast been, and now Thou art,

Forever Thou wilt be.

 

How steadfast is Thy faithfulness!

For this I worship Thee;

It is established in the heav'n,

And ever stands for me.

 
 3 

Thy word, as certain as Thyself,

Can never pass away;

Though heav'n and earth shall disappear,

Thy word abides for aye.

 

How steadfast is Thy faithfulness!

For this I worship Thee;

It is established in the heav'n,

And ever stands for me.

 
 4 

Thy gifts without repentance are,

Thy calling is the same;

Thy grace forever lasting is,

Thy mercy as Thy name.

 

How steadfast is Thy faithfulness!

For this I worship Thee;

It is established in the heav'n,

And ever stands for me.

 
 5 

Thy word with Thine own faithfulness

A surety is to me;

By it, with Thy salvation true,

I have the certainty.

 

How steadfast is Thy faithfulness!

For this I worship Thee;

It is established in the heav'n,

And ever stands for me.

 
 6 

If, due to self, I trust Thee not,

Yet Thou art faithful still;

Thou never canst deny Thyself,

Thy word Thou shalt fulfill.

 

How steadfast is Thy faithfulness!

For this I worship Thee;

It is established in the heav'n,

And ever stands for me.

 
 7 

As Thou art faithful to perform

Thy promise and Thy call;

So, feeding on Thy faithfulness,

I take Thyself withal.

 

How steadfast is Thy faithfulness!

For this I worship Thee;

It is established in the heav'n,

And ever stands for me.

 
 8 

The rainbow round about Thy throne

Thy faithfulness declares;

This attribute forevermore

The holy city bears.

 

How steadfast is Thy faithfulness!

For this I worship Thee;

It is established in the heav'n,

And ever stands for me.
