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

No storm can shake my inmost calm
While to that rock I’m clinging;
Since Christ 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?

No storm can shake my inmost calm
While to that rock I’m clinging;
Since Christ is Lord of heaven and earth,
How can I keep from singing?


3. What, though my joys and comforts die,
The Lord my Saviour liveth.
What though the darkness gather ‘round?
Songs in the night it giveth.

No storm can shake my inmost calm
While to that rock I’m clinging;
Since Christ is Lord of heaven and earth,
How can I keep from singing?

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?

No storm can shake my inmost calm
While to that rock I’m clinging;
Since Christ is Lord of heaven and earth,
How can I keep from singing?
