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.
