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.
