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.

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. Topics: Creation; Mercy; Providence; Sovereignty of God Used With Tune: DUNDEE
