OUR times are in Thy hand:
O God, we wish them there:
Our lives, our souls, our all, we leave
Entirely to Thy care.
2
Our times are in Thy hand:
Whatever they may be;
Pleasing or painful, dark or bright,
As best may seem to Thee.
3
Our times are in Thy hand:
Why should we doubt or fear?
A Father’s hand will never cause
His child a needless tear.
4
Our times are in Thy hand:
Jesus, the Crucified,
Whose hand our many sins have pierced,
Is now our guard and guide.
5
Our times are in Thy hand:
We’ll always trust to Thee,
Till we possess the promised land,
And all Thy glory see.
