My times are in thy hand

322 Ferguson. S. M.

1 MY times are in Thy hand:
   O 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?
   My Father's hand will never cause
   His child a needless tear.

4 My times are in Thy hand:
   I'll always trust on Thee,
   And,after death, at Thy right hand
   I shall for ever be.
                         William F. Lloyd

Hymnary.org inserts a fourth verse (this particular version has used plural pronouns throughout):

4 Our times are in Thy hand,
   Jesus, the Crucified:
   The hand our many sins have pierced,
   Is now our guard and guide.
