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.

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

Refrain

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
