Tune:HOW CAN I KEEP FROM SINGING

733. My life flows on in endless song

1 My life flows on in endless song
above earth's lamentation:
I catch the sweet, though far-off hymn
that sings 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 finds an echo in my soul;
how can I keep from singing? [Refrain]

3 What though my joys and comforts die?
The Lord my Saviour liveth!
What though the darkness round me close?
Songs in the night he giveth. [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]
