Our times are in Thy hand;
|
|
| 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. |
