Our times are in Thy hand;
Father, we wish them there!
Our life, our souls, our all we leave
Entirely to Thy care.
Our times are in Thy hand,
Whatever they may be;
Pleasing or painful, dark or bright,
As best may seem to Thee.
Our times are in Thy hand;
Why should we doubt or fear?
Our Father’s hand will never cause
His child a needless tear.
Our times are in Thy hand,
Jesus the crucified!
The hand our many sins have pierced
Is now our guard and guide.
Our times are in Thy hand,
O Lord, our Advocate!
Nor is that hand outstretched in vain,
For us to supplicate.
Our times are in Thy hand;
We’ll always trust in Thee,
Till we have left this weary land,
And all Thy glory see.
---Alternative verses---
Our times are in Thy hand ;
Why should we doubt or fear 1
A Father's hand will never cause
His child a needless tear.
Our times are in Thy hand;
Jesus once crucified,
Now leads His own with tender care,
Our Shepherd, Guard and Guide.
Our times are in Thy hand;
Christ is our Advocate;
No creature power from love divine
Our souls can separate.
Our times are in Thy hand,
We'd always trust in Thee,
Till we have left this weary land,
And all Thy glory see.
