Hymn of Promise
===============
w&m: Natalie Sleeth, 1986

[Verse 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.

[Verse 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.

[Verse 3]
In our end is the 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.
