My life flows on in endless song Above earth's lamentation I hear the real though far off hymn That hails a new creation No storm can shake my inmost calm While to that rock I'm clinging It sounds an echo in my soul How can I keep from singing? What though the tempest round me roars I know the truth, it liveth What though the darkness round me close Songs in the night it giveth No storm can shake my inmost calm While to that rock I'm clinging Since love is Lord of heaven and earth How can I keep from singing? I lift my eyes, the cloud grows thin I see the blue above it And day by day this pathway smoothes Since first I learned to love it 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, singing, singing?
