Change is our portion here;

Soon fades the summer sky,

The landscape droops in autumn sear,

And spring flowers bloom die:

But faithful is Jehovah’s word,

I will be with thee, saith the Lord.

Change is our portion here,

Along the heavenly road:

In faith and hope and holy fear,

In love towards our God:

How often we distrust the word.

I will be with thee, saith the Lord.

Change is our portion here:

yet midst our changing lot,

Midst withering flowers and tempest drear,

There is that changes not,

Unchangeable Jehovah’s word,

I will be with thee, saith the Lord.

Changeless, the way of peace:

Changeless Emmanuel’s name:

Changeless, the covenant of grace;

Eternally the same.

I change not, is a father’s word.

And I am with thee, saith the Lord.
