TEXT (Lamentations 3:22-26)
It is of Jehovah’s loving-kindnesses
that we are not consumed
because his compassions fail not.
They are new every morning;
great is thy faithfulness.
Jehovah is my portion, saith my soul;
therefore will I hope in him.
Jehovah is good unto them that wait for him,
to the soul that seeketh him.
It is good that a man should hope
and quietly wait for the salvation of Jehovah.

His Compassions Fail Not
Words by Biblical text, Lamentations 3:22-26Music by Leland B. Sateren
It is of Jehovah's loving-kindnesses
that we are not consumed,
because his compassions fail not.
They are new every morning;
great is thy faithfulness.
Jehovah is my portion, saith my soul;
therefore will I hope in him.
Jehovah is good unto them that wait for him,
to the soul that seeketh him.
It is good that a man should hope
and quietly wait for the salvation of Jehovah.
Story Behind the Song
"His Compassions Fail Not" is a choral scripture setting by American Lutheran composer and conductor Leland B. Sateren. The text comes directly from Lamentations 3:22-26, the same biblical passage that includes the phrase "great is thy faithfulness." Rather than being a congregational hymn with a standard tune name, it is best identified as a sacred choral anthem.
