There are changes in the garden!
Flowers come and bloom and die;
In succession, blossoms follow,
Then how quickly they pass by!
But the sun dial in the center
Stands unchanged through every scene,
And the story of time's passing
Is as it has always been.

There are changes in our households,
Parents die, and babes have birth;
There are funerals of sorrow;
There are marriages of mirth.
But our Father God in Heaven
Bears a blest, unchanging name
As 'the everlasting Father'
Through eternal years the same!

Yes, there are changes in the garden,
In the household, and the sea,
But in our Eternal Father,
Nought of change can ever be."
