Time is filled with swift transition
Not of earth unmoved can stand
Build your hopes on things eternal
And hold to God's unchanging hand

Trust in Him who will not leave you
Whatsoever years may bring
If by earthly friend forsaken
Still more closely to Him cling

chorus:

Hold to God's unchanging hand
Hold to God's unchanging hand
Build your hopes on things eternal
Hold to God's unchanging hand

When your journey here is ended
If to God you have been true
Fair and bright your home in glory
Your enraptured soul will view

chorus
