My life flows on in endless song;
Above earth’s lamentation
I hear the sweet though far off hymn
That hails a new creation:
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?
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?
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?
What though my joys and comforts die?
I know my soul still liveth;
What though the darkness gather round!
Songs in the night He 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?
