My times are in Thy hand;
Father, I wish them there:
My life, my soul, my all, 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 many sins once pierced
Is now my Guard and Guide.
