skies. Ever gracious, ever wise. All my times are in your hand. All events at your command. His decree who formed the earth. Fixed my first and second birth
Parents, native place and time All were appointed by Him He who formed me in the womb
He shall guide me to the tomb All my times shall ever be Ordered
by His wise decree Times of sickness, times of health Times of poverty and wealth. Times of trial and of grief. Times of triumph and relief. Times the tempter's power to
prove. Times to taste the Savior's love
All must come at last and end As shall please my heavenly friend Plagues and deaths around me
fly Until he bids I cannot die Not a single shaft can hit Until
the God of love sees fit
