Author: Natalie Sleeth Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #797 (1995) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Covenant Lyrics: 1 In the bulb there is a flower;
in the seed, an apple tree;
in cocoons, a hidden promise:
butterflies will soon be free!
In the cold and snow of winter
there’s a spring that waits to be,
unrevealed until its season,
something God alone can see.
2 There’s a song in ev'ry silence,
seeking word and melody;
there’s a dawn in ev'ry darkness,
bringing hope to you and me.
From the past will come the future;
what it holds, a mystery,
unrevealed until its season,
something God alone can see.
3 In our end is our beginning;
in our time, infinity;
in our doubt there is believing;
in our life, eternity.
In our death, a resurrection;
at the last, a victory,
unrevealed until its season,
something God alone can see. Scripture: John 12:24-26 Languages: English Tune Title: PROMISE
