OUR TIMES ARE IN THY HAND
Our times are in Thy hand;
Father, we wish them there;
Our life, our souls, our all we leave
Entirely to Thy care.
Our times are in Thy hand,
Whatever they may be;
Pleasing or painful, dark or bright;
As best they seem to Thee.
Our times are in Thy hand;
Why should we doubt or fear?
Our Father’s hand will never cause
His child a needless tear.
Our times are in Thy hand,
O Lord, our Advocate!
Nor is that hand outstretched in vain,
For us to supplicate.
Our times are in Thy hand;
We’ll always trust in Thee.
Till we have left this weary land,
And all Thy glory see.
