"Great is Thy Faithfulness"

Thomas O. Chisholm, who wrote the hymn "Great is Thy Faithfulness," was born in Franklin, Kentucky in 1866. His boyhood was spent on a farm and in teaching district schools. He spent five years as editor of the local paper at Franklin. He was converted to Christianity at the age of 26 and soon after was business manager and office editor of the "Pentecostal Hearld" or Louisville, Ky. In 1903 he entered the ministry of the M. E. Church South. His aim in writing was to incorporate as much Scripture as possible in his hymn writing, and to avoid flippant or sentimental themes.
