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!

CHORUS:
Hold (to His hand) to God's unchanging hand.
Hold (to His hand) 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!

3. Covet not this world's vain riches,
That so rapidly decay.
Seek to gain the heav'nly treasures,
They will never pass away.
