Our times are in Thy hand;
O God
we wish them there;
Our lives
our souls
our all
we leave
Entirely to Thy care.
Our times are in Thy hand:
Whatever they may be;
Pleasing or painful
dark or bright
As best may seem to Thee.
Our times are in Thy hand;
Why should we doubt or fear?
A father’s hand will never cause
His child a needless tear.
Our times are in Thy hand;
Jesus
the Crucified
Whose hand our many sins have pierced
Is now our guard and guide.
Our times are in Thy hand;
We’ll always trust to Thee
Till we possess the promised crown
And all Thy glory see.
