Verse 1
Time is filled with swift transition, mm, mm
None, none on earth unmoved can stand
Build your hopes on things eternal
And then hold, hold onto God's unchanging hand

Verse 2
Trust in Him, who will not leave you
What, whatsoever the years may bring
When your earthly friends forsake you
Still, still more closely to Him cling

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

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.

Chorus:
Hold to God's unchanging hand,
Hold to God's unchanging hand;
Build your hopes on things eternal,
Hold to God's unchanging hand.
