|  | 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. |
