My Times Are in Thy Hand
Author: William F. Lloyd Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 300 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 31 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.

My Times Are in Thy Hand
Psalm 31 Part 2
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 38 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 31:7-13 First Line: My heart rejoices in thy name Lyrics:
My heart rejoices in thy name,
My God, my help, my trust;
Thou hast preserved my face from shame,
Mine honor from the dust.
"My life is spent with grief," I cried,
"My years consumed in groans,
My strength decays, mine eyes are dried,
And sorrow wastes my bones."
Among mine enemies my name
Was a mere proverb grown,
While to my neighbors I became
Forgotten and unknown.
Slander and fear on every side
Seized and beset me round
I to the throne of grace applied,
And speedy rescue found.
How great deliverance thou hast wrought
Before the sons of men!
The lying lips to silence brought,
And made their boastings vain!
Thy children from the strife of tongues
Shall thy pavilion hide;
Guard them from infamy and wrongs,
And crush the sons of pride.
Within thy secret presence, Lord,
Let me for ever dwell;
No fenced city, walled and barred,
Secures a saint so well.

Psalm 31 Part 2
My spirit on Thy care
Author: Henry F. Lyte Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 203 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 31 Lyrics:
My spirit on Thy care,
Blest Savior, I recline;
Thou wilt not leave me to despair,
For Thou art love divine.
In Thee I place my trust,
On Thee I calmly rest;
I know Thee good, I know Thee just,
And count thy choice the best.
Whate'er events betide,
Thy will they all perform:
Safe in Thy breast my head I hide,
Nor fear the coming storm.
Let good or ill befall,
It must be good for me;
Secure in having Thee in all,
Of having all in Thee.
Amen.

we trust in thee;

thy hand we see.
With each new day, when morning lifts the veil,
we own thy mercies, Lord, which never fail.
2 God of the past, our times are in thy hand;
with us abide.
Lead us by faith to hope's true promised land;
be now our guide.
With thee to bless, the darkness shines as light,
and faith's fair vision changes into sight.

we follow thee;
when we are strong, Lord, leave us not alone;
our refuge be.

our hearts' true home when all our years have sped. Topics: Funerals; Church Anniversaries and Dedications; God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob Used With Tune: ALBERTA

My spirit I commit;

To take away my life.

Though I draw near the dust:"
Thou art the refuge where I hide,
The God in whom I trust.
4 Oh make thy reconciled face
Upon thy servant shine,
And save me for thy mercy's sake,
For I'm entirely thine.
Pause.

"I must despair and die,
"I am cut off before thine eyes;"
But thou hast heard my cry.

How sweet thy smiling face,
To those that fear thy majesty,
And trust thy promis'd grace.

And sing his praises loud;
He'll bend his ear to your complaints,
And recompence the proud.

In Thee, O Lord, I Put My Trust
Father, I know that all my life
Author: A. L. Waring Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 231 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 31:15 Lyrics:
Father, I know that all my life
Is portioned out for me,
And the changes that are sure to come,
I do not fear to see;
But I ask Thee for a present mind
Intent on pleasing Thee.
I ask Thee for a thoughtful love,
Through constant watching wise,
To meet the glad with joyful smiles,
And to wipe the weeping eyes;
And a heart at leisure from itself,
To soothe and sympathize.
I would not have the restless will
That hurries to and fro,
Seeking for some great thing to do,
Or secret thing to know;
I would be treated as a child,
And guided where I go.
Wherever in the world I am,
In whatsoe'er estate,
I have a fellowship with hearts
To keep and cultivate;
And a work of lowly love to do
For the Lord on whom I wait.
So I ask Thee for the daily strength,
To none that ask denied,
And a mind to blend with outward life
While keeping at Thy side;
Content to fill a little space,
If Thou be glorified.
And if some things I do not ask,
In my cup of blessing be,
I would have my spirit filled the more
With grateful love to Thee —
More careful — not to serve Thee much,
But to please Thee perfectly.
There are briers besetting every path,
That call for patient care;
There is a cross in every lot,
And an earnest need for prayer;
But a lowly heart that leans on Thee
Is happy anywhere.
In a service which Thy will appoints,
There are no bonds for me;
For my inmost heart is taught “the truth”
That makes Thy children “free;”
And a life of self–renouncing love,
Is a life of liberty.
Father, I know that all my life
Psalm 31 Part 1
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 25 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 31:13-19 First Line: Unto thine hand, O God of truth Lyrics:
Unto thine hand, O God of truth,
My spirit I commit;
Thou hast redeemed my soul from death,
And saved me from the pit.
The passions of my hope and fear
Maintained a doubtful strife,
While sorrow, pain, and sin conspired
To take away my life.
"My times are in thine hand," I cried,
"Though I draw near the dust;
Thou art the refuge where I hide,
The God in whom I trust.
O make thy reconciled face
Upon thy servant shine,
And save me for thy mercy's sake,
For I'm entirely thine.
['Twas in my haste my spirit said,
"I must despair and die,
I am cut off before thine eyes;
But thou hast heard my cry.]
Thy goodness how divinely free!
How wondrous is thy grace
To those that fear thy majesty,
And trust thy promises!
O love the Lord, all ye his saints,
And sing his praises loud;
He'll bend his ear to your complaints,
And recompense the proud.
