One of my faves, particularly the third verse.
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 will 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!
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.
(Refrain)
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)
Words are by Thomas Chisholm; music is by William Runyan
I love that a bunch of young punks were enthusiastically singing a song by a guy who looked like this:
Man, I love the Church.

Must have been a sight and sound to behold!
Maybe you can convince the worship leader to try, "Be Thou My Vision"?

Oo, we've done that one before too. Among others.
Our worship guy is great at putting hymns into our worship time, and even the "new" songs he does are Gospel-driven and consciously theo-centric and related to the message theme.
His name is Chris Wilcoxson, btw, and he's awesome.
