Burning causes hydrogen to convert to water which is extremely stable. Hydrogen is very reactive because it only has one electron and wants to gain one to have a stable two electron configuration like the noble gas helium. Oxygen wants to gain electrons to become like Neon. So Hydrogen burns in oxygen because nature prefers low energy which is the overall result.
