|
| 1 | Our times are in Thy hand, | Psalm 31:15; Philippians 4:6; 1 Peter 5:7 |
| Father, we wish them there; |
| Our life, our soul, our all, we leave |
| Entirely to Thy care. |
|
| 2 | Our times are in Thy hand, | 2 Corinthians 12:7-10 |
| Whatever they may be, |
| Pleasing or painful, dark or bright, |
| As best may seem to Thee. |
|
| 3 | Our times are in Thy hand, | Hebrews 12:11 |
| 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, | 1 Corinthians 1:23; 1 Corinthians 2:2; Psalm 121:3; Psalm 32:8 |
| Jesus the crucified! |
| The hand our many sins had pierced |
| Is now our Guard and Guide. |
|
| 5 | Our times are in Thy hand, | 1 John 5:1 |
| Jesus the Advocate! |
| Nor can that hand be stretched in vain, |
| For us to supplicate. |
|
| 6 | Our times are in Thy hand; | Isaiah 32:2; John 17:24 |
| We'd always trust in Thee, |
| Till we have left this weary land, |
| And all Thy glory see. |
