 1 

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 in Thee,

Till we possess the promised crown,

And all Thy glory see.
