263. My Life Flows On in Endless Song

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 inmost 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 that music ringing;
it sounds and echoes in my soul.
How can I keep from singing? [Refrain]

3 What though the tempest loudly roar?
I hear the truth: it's living!
What though the darkness round me close?
Songs in the night it's giving. [Refrain]

4 The peace of Christ makes fresh my heart,
a fountain ever springing!
All things are mine since I am his!
How can I keep from singing? [Refrain]
