The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book ‎#737

737. "My times are in thy hand:"

1 "My times are in thy hand:"
My God, I wish them there;
My life, my friends, my all 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 in thee,
Till I possess the promised land,
And all thy glory see.
