| 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 loudly roars
|
| I know the truth it liveth
|
| What though the darkness round me close
|
| Songs in the night it giveth
|
| No storms 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 and love makes fresh my heart
|
| a fountain ever springing
|
| All things are mine since I am his
|
| how can I keep from singing? |
