917. My times are in thy hand

1 My times are in thy hand,
My God, I wish them there;
My life, my friends, my soul I leave
Entirely to thy care.

2 My times are in thy hand,
Whatever they may be,
Pleasing or painful, dark or bright,
As best may seem to thee.

3 My times are in thy hand,
Why should I doubt or fear?
A Father’s hand will never cause
His child a needless care.

4 My times are in thy hand,
Jesus, the crucified;
The hand my cruel sins had pierced
Is now my guard and guide.

5 My times are in thy hand,
I’ll always trust in thee;
And after death at thy right hand
I shall for ever be.
