I keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
Time is filled with swift transition
Naught of earth unmoved can stand
Build your hopes on things eternal
Hold to God's unchanging hand
Just keep holding on
Just keep holding on
Trust in Him who will not leave you
Whatsoever years may bring
If by earthly friends forsaken
Still more closely to Him I cling
Hold to His hand
God's unchanging hand
Hold, hold, hold on
Hold to His hand
God's unchanging hand
Hold, hold, hold on
Hold to His hand
God's unchanging hand
Hold, hold, hold on
Hold to His hand
God's unchanging hand
Hold, hold, hold on
Hold, hold, hold, hold
Get a real good grip
Get a real good grip
Get a real good grip
Get a real good grip
No no no no, no no no no
No no no no, no no no no
Hold, get a real good grip
No no no no
Hold to His hand
God's unchanging hand
Hold hold, hold on
