Lyrics

Scenes of the world are shifting,
Friends are in time forgot;
But tho’ the mountains crumble,
He changes not.

Refrain

He changes not!
He changes not!
Love Him who faileth ne­ver—
He changes not.

Winter gives place to springtime,
Winds blow both cold and hot;
Only our God is stable—
He changes not.

Refrain

Daily we grieve and wonder,
Over man’s changing lot;
Only our God remaineth,
He changes not.

Refrain

How could we live each moment,
If ever we forgot
The loving God above us,
Who changeth not.
