My life flows on in endless song ; Above earth's lamentation I hear the sweet though far-off Hymns 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 ?
2. What though my joys and comforts The Lord my Saviour liveth ; [die ! 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 heaven and earth, How can I keep from singing ?
3. I lift mine 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 A fountain ever springing: [heart, All things are mine since I am His---- How can I keep from singing ?
