In the Bulb There Is a Flower

Author: Natalie Sleeth Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 25 hymnals 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 Used With Tune: PROMISE

O God, Who Gave Humanity Its Name

Author: Fred Kaan Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: Covenant Lyrics: 1 O God who gave humanity its name, whose covenant of grace remains the same, be with these two who now before you wait; enlarge the love they come to consecrate. 2 May through their union other lives be blessed; their door be wide to stranger and to guest. Give them the understanding that is kind, grant them the blessing of an open mind. 3 Preserve their days from inwardness of heart; to each the gift of truthfulness impart. Their bond be strong against all strain and strife amid the changes of this earthly life. 4 From stage to stage on life's unfolding way bring to their mind the vows they make this day, your spirit be their guide in every move, their faith in Christ the touchstone of their love. 5 God, bless us all to whom this day brings joy, let no events our unity destroy, and help us, till all sense of time is lost, to live in love and not to count the cost.

Let the fire and cloudy pillar lead me all my journey through. Strong Deliverer, strong Deliverer, ever be my strength and shield, ever be my strength and shield. 3 When I tread the verge of Jordan, bid my anxious fears subside.

Sins of Hypocricy

Why take My covenant in mouth, Since ye for wisdom do not care? For ye My holy words profane And cast them from you in disdain. 2 Ye have consented with the thief, Ye have partaken with the vile, Your mouths to evil words ye give, Your tongues proclaim deceit and guile, Ye glory in your brother's shame, Your mother's son do ye defame. 3 Thus have ye done; I silence kept, And this has been your secret thought, That i was wholly as yourselves, To take your evil deeds as nought; I will reprove you and array Your deeds before your eyes this day. 4 Consider this, who God forget, Lest I destroy with none to free; Who offers sacrifice of thanks, He glorifies and honors Me; To him who orders well his way Salvation free I will display.

How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord

Appears in 2,204 hymnals Topics: Covenant Lyrics: 1 How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord, Is laid for your faith in His excellent word! What more can He say than to you He has said, Who unto the Saviour for refuge have fled? Who unto the Saviour for refuge have fled? 2 "In every condition--in sickness, in health, In poverty's vale, or abounding in wealth, At home and abroad, on the land, on the sea, As thy days may demand, so thy succor shall be, As thy days may demand, so thy succor shall be. 3 "Fear not, I am with thee; oh, be not dismayed; For I am thy God, and will still give thee aid; I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand, Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand, Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand. 4 "When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie, My grace, all-sufficient, shall be thy supply; The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine, Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine. 5 "E'en down to old age, all My people shall prove My sovereign, eternal, unchangeable love; And then, when gray hairs shall their temples adorn Like lambs they shall still in My bosom be borne, Like lambs they shall still in My bosom be borne. 6 "The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose, I will not, I will not desert to its foes; That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake, I'll never--no, never--no, never forsake!" Amen. Used With Tune: PORTUGUESE HYMN
