- 1Our times are in Thy hand.
- O God, we wish them there;
- Our life, our friends, our souls, we leave
- Entirely to Thy care.
- 2Our times are in Thy hand,
- Whatever they may be,
- Pleasing or painful, dark or bright,
- As best may seem to Thee.
- 3Our times are in Thy hand;
- Why should I doubt or fear?
- A Father's hand will never cause
- His child a needless tear.
- 4Our times are in Thy hand,
- Jesus, the Crucified,
- The hand our many sins have pierced,
- Is now our guard and guide.
- 5Our times are in Thy hand:
- We'll always trust in Thee,
- Till we have left the weary land
- And all Thy glory see.
- 6Amen.
