20. Hold to God's Unchanging Hand

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!

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!

2 Trust in Him who will not leave you,--
Whatsoever years may bring,--
If by earthly friends forsaken,--
Still, more closely to Him cling! [Refrain]

3 Covet not this world’s vain riches,--
That so rapidly decay,--
Seek to gain the heav’nly treasures,--
They, will never pass away! [Refrain]

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! [Refrain]
