Excerpt:
Christians celebrated online after the popular hymn “Great Is Thy Faithfulness” played in the Capitol Rotunda on Monday ahead of President Donald Trump’s inauguration.
The chorus to the song, which was being played on the piano, goes, “Great is thy faithfulness, Great is thy faithfulness, Morning by morning new mercies I see. All I have needed thy hand hast provided; Great is thy faithfulness, Lord unto me.”
The lyrics were written in 1923 by Methodist minister Thomas Chisholm, while composer William Runyan wrote the tune.
The phrase “great is thy faithfulness” can be found in the third chapter of the book of Lamentations.
“It is of the LORD’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness,” the passage reads.
Christian hymns playing in the rotunda: “For the Beauty of the Earth” and “Great Is Thy Faithfulness.”
“Great is thy faithfulness,
Great is thy faithfulness,
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed thy hand hast provided;
Great is thy faithfulness,
Lord unto me.” pic.twitter.com/ZanyC43EZy— Christine Niles (@ChristineNiles1) January 20, 2025
