The New Wonderful Songs for Work and Worship ‎#20

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]
