Naught of earth unmoved can stand.

Hold to his hand, God’s unchanging hand.
Hold to his hand, God’s unchanging hand.

Whatsoever years may bring.
If by earthly friends forsaken,
Still more closely to him cling. [Refrain]

That so rapidly decay.
Seek to gain the heav’nly treasures.
They will never pass away. [Refrain]

Your enraptured soul will view. [Refrain] Topics: Funeral Sacraments; Eternal Life; Faith; Faithfulness of God; Heaven; Hope; Journey, Pilgrimage; Obedience; Presence of God; Trust, Confidence Scripture: Hebrews 13:8 Languages: English Tune Title: UNCHANGING HAND
