Hymn of Promise

Author: Natalie Sleeth, 1930-1992 Hymnal: Hymns of Promise #1 (2015) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D First Line: In the bulb there is a flower 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 every silence, seeking word and melody; there’s a dawn in every 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.
