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]
