Author: William F. Lloyd Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #577 (1961) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Opening and Closing of the Year Lyrics: 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?
My Father's hand will never cause
His child a needless tear.
4 My times are in thy hand,
Jesus the Crucified;
Those hands my cruel sins had pierced
Are now my guard and guide.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 31:5 Languages: English Tune Title: VIGIL
My times are in thy hand
