OUR TIMES ARE IN THY HAND;

Our times are in Thy hand;
Father, we wish them there!
Our life, 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?
Our Father’s hand will never cause
His child a needless tear.

Our times are in Thy hand,
Jesus the crucified!
The hand our many sins have pierced
Is now our guard and guide.

Our times are in Thy hand,
O Lord, our Advocate!
Nor is that hand outstretched in vain
For us to supplicate.

Our times are in Thy hand;
We’ll always trust in Thee,
Till we have left this weary land
And all Thy glory see.
