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.

Refrain: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!

Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth, thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow, blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside! Refrain.

The Affirmation of Faith | Apostles' Creed Mr. Michael J. Devine

I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ His only Son our Lord: who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; the third day He rose from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
