Although we probably feel that summer has hardly arrived this year - and Ireland has fared less well than England - nature still moves on from season to season as this summer bedding at Powerscourt Gardens shows.
Summer and winter, and spring-time and harvest,
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above,
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To thy great faithfulness, mercy and love:
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!

Words are good but the tune? Nice flowers! Our garden is very luxurious after all the rain!
I agree with your thoughts about the tune - 'Faithfulness' - it is not very good! A great hymn must have both excellent words and an excellent tune - which fit together like hands and gloves. Take 'Jesus Christ is risen today' as a fine example.
Perhaps you should compose a new tune for 'Great is thy faithfulness' - you could call it 'Woodhouse Eaves' - a lovely village in Leicestershire where an aunt and uncle of mine used to live.
