My Times are in Thy Hands

My times are in Thy hand; Father, I wish them there:

My life, my soul, my all, I leave entirely to Thy care,

My times are in Thy hand, whatever they may be,

Pleasing or painful, dark or bright, as best may seem to Thee.

.

My times are in Thy hand: why should I doubt or fear?

My Father’s hand will never cause His child a needless tear.

My times are in Thy hand, Jesus the Crucified!

The hand my many sins once pierced is now my Guard and Guide.
