1. My life flows on in endless song

above earth's lamentation.

I hear the real though far off hymn

that hails a new creation.

Refrain:

No storm can shake my in- most calm

while to that rock I'm clinging.

Since love is Lord of heaven and earth,

how can I keep from singing?

2. Through all the tumult and the strife,

I hear the music ringing.

It sounds and echos in my soul,

how can I keep from singing?

3. What though the tempest round me roar,

I hear the truth, it liveth.

What though the darkness round me close,

songs in the night it giveth.
