1. My life flows on in endless song,
- above earth’s lamentation.
I catch the sweet, though far-off hymn
that hails a new creation. - Refrain:
- No storm can shake my inmost calm
- While to that Rock I’m clinging.
- Since Christ is Lord of heav’n and earth,
- How can I keep from singing?
- 2. Through all the tumult and the strife,
I hear that music ringing.
It sounds and echoes in my soul,
How can I keep from singing? - 3. What though the tempests 'round me roar,
I hear the truths it lives.
What though the darkness 'round me close,
Songs in the night it gives. - 4. When tyrants tremble, sick with fear,. And hear their death knells ringing.
When friends rejoice both far and near, How can I keep from singing? - 5. The peace of Christ makes fresh my heart,
A fountain ever springing.
All things are mine since I am His,
How can I keep from singing?
