1. My times are in Thy hands.

My God, I wish them there.

My life, my friends, my soul

I leave entirely to Thy care.

2. My times are in Thy hand,

whatever they may be.

Pleasing or painful, dark or bright,

As best may seem to Thee.

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

4. My times are in Thy hand,

Jesus the crucified.

The hand my cruel sins

have pierced.

is now my guard and guide.
