Author: Natalie Sleeth, 1930-1992 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #674 (1997) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D 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: Children and Youth Faith; Hope; Mystery; One Life in Christ Faith; Victory / Triumph Scripture: Romans 6:5 Languages: English Tune Title: PROMISE
