My Times Are in Thy Hand

Verse 1

My times are in Thy hand;
My God, I wish them there;
My life, my friends, my soul, I leave
Entirely to Thy care.

Verse 2

My times are in Thy hand,
Whatever they may be;
Pleasing or painful, dark or bright,
As best may seem to Thee.

Verse 3

My times are in Thy hand;
Why should I doubt or fear?
A Father’s hand will never cause
His child a needless tear.

Verse 4

My times are in Thy hand,
Jesus the crucified;
The hand my cruel sins had pierced
Is now my guard and guide.
