Zion still Sings ‎#154

154. 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 his hand, God’s unchanging hand.
Hold to his hand, 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 heavenly 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]
