[00:00.414]My life flows on in endless song
[00:07.681]above earth’s lamentations,
[00:12.695]I hear the real, though far-off hymn
[00:20.708]that hails a new creation.
[00:27.474]No storm can shake my inmost calm,
[00:34.990]while to that rock I’m clinging.
[00:40.249]it sounds an echo in my soul.
[00:47.518]How can I keep from singing?
[00:59.047]While though the tempest loudly roars,
[01:05.812]I know the truth, it liveth.
[01:10.317]And though the darkness ’round me close,
[01:17.584]songs in the night it giveth.
[01:24.350]No storm can shake my inmost calm,
[01:31.115]while to that rock I’m clinging.
[01:36.379]Since love is lord of heaven and earth
[01:44.146]how can I keep from singing?
[01:58.179]I life my eyes, the cloud grows thin;
[02:04.193]I see the blue above it;
[02:08.450]And day by day this pathway smoothes,
[02:15.464]Since first I learned to love it.
[02:22.229]The peace of Christ makes fresh my heart,
[02:28.987]A fountain ever springing;
[02:36.754]All things are mine since I am his,
[02:45.272]How can I keep from singing?
