1. My life flows on in endless song; Above earth's lamentation. I catch the sweet, though faroff hymn that hails a new creation; Through all the tumult and the strife, I hear that music ringing; It finds an echo in my soul... How can I keep from singing?
2. 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?
3. I lift my eyes; the cloud grows thin; I see the blue above it; And day by day this pathway smooths, 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?
