|
My life flows on in endless song |
|
Above earth's lamentation |
|
I hear the sweet though far off hymn |
|
That hails a new creation |
|
Through all the tumult and the strife |
|
I hear the music ringing |
|
It finds an echo in my soul |
|
How can I keep from singing? |
|
What though my joys and comforts die? |
|
The Lord, my Savior liveth |
|
What though the darkness gather round |
|
Songs in the night He giveth |
|
No storm can shake my inmost calm |
|
While to that refuge clinging |
|
Since Christ is Lord of heav'n and earth |
|
How can I keep from singing? |
|
I lift mine 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? |
