 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.
