My life flows on endless song above earth's lamentation
I hear the real, though far off hymn that hails a new creation
Through all the tumult and the strife I hear it's music ringing
It sounds an echo in my soul, how can I keep from singing?
2.
What through the thempest loudly roars, I hear 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?
3.
I lift my eyes, the cloud grows thin, I see the blue above it
And day by day this pathway clears, since first I learned to love it
The peace of God restores my soul, a fountain ever springing
All things are mine since I am loved how can I keep from singing?
