Hold to God's Unchanging Hand

Representative Text

1 Time is filled with swift transition,
naught of earth unmoved can stand;
Build your hopes on things eternal,
hold to God’s unchanging hand!

Refrain:
Hold to God’s unchanging hand!
Hold to God’s unchanging hand!
Build your hopes on things eternal,
hold to God’s unchanging hand!

2 Trust in Him who will not leave you,
whatsoever years may bring;
If by earthly friends forsaken,
still more closely to Him cling. [Refrain]

3 Covet not this world’s vain riches
that so rapidly decay;
Seek to gain the heav’nly treasures,
they will never pass away! [Refrain]

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! [Refrain]
