Thomas O. Chisolm wrote the poem in 1923 about God's faithfulness over his lifetime. Chisolm sent the song to William Runyan in Kansas, who was affiliated with the Moody Bible Institute and Hope Publishing Company. Runyan set the poem to music, and it was published that same year by Hope Publishing Company and became popular among church groups. The Biblical lyrics reference Lamentations 3:22. The song was exposed to wide audiences after becoming popular with Dr. William Henry Houghton of the Moody Bible Institute and Billy Graham who played the song frequently on his international crusades. This hymn was the school song of Philadelphia College of Bible. Sunday, July 29, 2012
