Hymn of Promise
Author: Natalie Sleeth, 1930-1992 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 24 hymnals Scripture: Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 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. Topics: Promise & Hope Used With Tune: PROMISE

O God, in a Mysterious Way
Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,119 hymnals Scripture: Ecclesiastes 3:11 Lyrics: 1 O God, in a mysterious way
great wonders you perform.
You plant your footsteps in the sea
and ride upon the storm.
2 Deep in unfathomable mines
of never-failing skill,
you treasure up your bright designs
and work your sovereign will.
3 O fearful saints, fresh courage take.
The clouds you so much dread
are big with mercy and shall break
in blessings on your head.
4 Our unbelief is sure to err
and scan your work in vain.
You are your own interpreter,
and you will make it plain.

Refrain:
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!

They have builded him an altar in the evening dews and damps;
I can read the righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps;
His day is marching on. [Refrain]
3 He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat;
He is sifting out the hearts of all before his judgment seat;
O be swift, my soul, to answer him; be jubilant, my feet!
Our God is marching on. [Refrain]
4 In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,
With a glory in his bosom that transfigures you and me;
As he died to make us holy, let us die that all be free!

Author: Brian Wren (b. 1936) Meter: 9.8.9.8 Appears in 22 hymnals Scripture: Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 Lyrics: 1 This is a day of new beginnings,
time to remember and move on,
time to believe what love is bringing,
laying to rest the pain that's gone.
2 For by the life and death of Jesus,
love's mighty Spirit, now as then,
can make for us a world of difference
as faith and hope are born again.
3 Then let us, with the Spirit's daring,
step from the past and leave behind
our disappointment, guilt and grieving,
seeking new paths, and sure to find.
4 Christ is alive, and goes before us
to show and share what love can do.
This is a day of new beginnings --
our God is making all things new.
[Alternative text (v. 4) for Holy Communion:]
In faith we'll gather round the table
to show and share what love can do.
This is a day of new beginnings --
our God is making all things new.
