1 Our times are in Thy hand:
O God, we wish them there;
Our life, our friends, our souls 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?
My Father's hand will never cause
His child a needless tear.

4 Our times are in Thy hand,
Jesus, the Crucified;
The hand our many sins have pierced,
Is now my guard and guide.

5 Our times are in Thy hand:
We'll always trust on Thee,
Till we have left the weary land,
And all Thy glory see.

Amen.
