Verse 1
Time is filled with swift transition—
Naught of earth unmoved can stand—
Build your hopes on things eternal, (II Cor. 4:18)
Hold to God’s unchanging hand. (Mal. 3:6, Ps. 73:23, Isa. 41:13)
Verse 2
Hold to God’s unchanging hand!
Hold to God’s unchanging hand!
Build your hopes on things eternal,
Hold to God’s unchanging hand. (Mal. 3:6)
Verse 3
Trust in Him who will not leave you, (Deut. 31:8, Heb. 13:5, Matt. 28:20)
Whatsoever years may bring,
If by earthly friends forsaken,
Still more closely to Him cling.
Verse 4
When your journey is completed,
If to God you have been true,
Fair and bright the home in glory,
Your enraptured soul will view.
