the end

[Karen]

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.

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

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.

A hymn I thought you might find appropriate, I don't know if you sing this one in the Lutheran church, but we do!

Karen, it's not a Lutheran hymn, but the words are so beautiful and very appropriate for what I'm feeling right now. Thank you for sharing it with me. LES coming.
