“My times are in Thy hand: "
My God, I wish them there;
My life, my friends, my soul — I leave
Entirely to Thy care.
“My times are in Thy hand,"
Whatever they may be;
Pleasing, or painful, dark or bright,
As best may seem to Thee.
“My times are in Thy hand; "
Why should I doubt or fear?
My Father's hand will never cause
His child a needless tear.
“My times are in Thy hand,"
Jesus, the crucified!
The hand my cruel sins had pierced,
Is now my guard and guide.
