Time is filled with swift transition
Naught of earth unmoved can stand
Build you hopes on things eternal
Hold to God's unchanging hand

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

Trust in Him who will not leave you
What so ever years may bring
If by earthly friends forsaken
Still, more closely to Him cling

* Refrain

Covet not this world's vain riches
That so rapidly decay
Seek to gain the heavenly treasures
They will never pass away

* Refrain

When your journey is completed
When the valley you pass thru
Fair and bright the home in glory
Your enraptured soul will view

* Refrain
