Time is filled with swift transition Naught of earth unmoved can stand Build your hopes on things eternal Hold to God's unchanging hand
Trust in Him he will not leave you Whatsoever years may bring If your earthly friends forsake you Still more closely to Him cling
You gotta hold to his hand, God's unchanging hand Hold to his hand, God's unchanging hand Build your hopes on things eternal You've gotta hold on to God's unchanging hand
Know you trust and this world's vain (ri)ches They so rapidly decay Look to gain your Heavenly treasures They will never-never-never pass away
When your journey is completed If to God you have been true Beautiful wanderers home in glory Your enraptured soul will view
All you gotta do is hold to his hand, God's unchanging hand Hold to his hand, God's unchanging hand Build your hopes on things eternal You've gotta hold on to God's unchanging hand
Hold to his hand, God's unchanging hand Hold to his hand, God's unchanging hand Build your hopes on things eternal You've gotta hold on to God's unchanging hand Hold on, Hold on (mmm...) Hold on
