Representative Text

1 Though time brings changes and decay,
While years on swiftest pinions move,
I praise the Lord from day to day
That time can never change his love!

Refrain:
For time can never change his love!
The years but serve its pow’r to prove!
I praise the Lord from day to day
That time can never change his love.

2 More brightly than the morning sun
The love of Christ still shines above;
It thrills my heart with joy to know
That time can never change his love! [Refrain]

3 Though earthly treasures prove in vain,
Though trusted friends may faithless prove,
Thank God, this blessed truth remains
That time can never change his love! [Refrain]
