In the Bulb There Is a Flower

Author: Natalie Sleeth Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 25 hymnals Topics: Covenant 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 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. 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. Scripture: John 12:24-26 Used With Tune: PROMISE

How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord

What more can He say than to you He has said, Who unto the Saviour for refuge have fled? Who unto the Saviour for refuge have fled? 2 "In every condition--in sickness, in health, In poverty's vale, or abounding in wealth, At home and abroad, on the land, on the sea, As thy days may demand, so thy succor shall be, As thy days may demand, so thy succor shall be. 3 "Fear not, I am with thee; oh, be not dismayed; For I am thy God, and will still give thee aid; I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand, Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand, Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand. 4 "When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie, My grace, all-sufficient, shall be thy supply; The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine, Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine. 5 "E'en down to old age, all My people shall prove My sovereign, eternal, unchangeable love; And then, when gray hairs shall their temples adorn Like lambs they shall still in My bosom be borne, Like lambs they shall still in My bosom be borne. 6 "The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose, I will not, I will not desert to its foes; That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake, I'll never--no, never--no, never forsake!" Amen. Used With Tune: PORTUGUESE HYMN

With salvation's walls surrounded, thou may'st smile at all thy foes. 2 See, the streams of living waters, springing from eternal love, well supply thy sons and daughters, and all fear of want remove; who can faint, while such a river ever flows their thirst t'assuage?– grace which, like the Lord, the giver, never fails from age to age. 3 Round each habitation hov'ring, see the cloud and fire appear for a glory and a cov'ring, showing that the Lord is near: thus deriving from their banner light by night and shade by day, safe they feed upon the manna which he gives them when they pray. 4 Savior, if of Zion's city I, through grace, a member am, let the world deride or pity, I will glory in thy name: fading is the worldling's pleasure, all his boasted pomp and show; solid joys and lasting treasure none but Zion's children know.
