Lyics

"MY TIMES are in thy hand:"

My God, 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 they 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."

I'll always trust in thee,

Till I possess the promised land,

And all thy glory see.
