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.
