1  "All in His hands" — what confidence it brings

    To tested hearts, to know that all the things

    That make up life and circumstance, He holds

    In His strong hands, and patiently unfolds

    Th' eternal purpose of His sovereign Will —

    That all things shall His grace and glory fill.

 2  "All in His hands"? Then life with purpose moves

    Within the circle of His will, and proves

    It good, acceptable. The hands of man

    Or Satan cannot mar or foil the plan

    Which God ordained — to manifest His Son

    In earthen vessels, to a world undone.
