My life flows on in endless song, above earth’s lamentation;
I hear the clear though far-off hymn that hails a new creation.
Through all the tumult and the strife, I hear the music ringing;
It finds an echo in my soul. How can I keep from singing?
What though the tempest loudly roars, I know my Savior liveth;
Although the darkness binds me close, deep in the night sweet songs
he giveth.
His inner peace makes fresh my heart, a fountain ever springing;
Since Christ is Lord of heavens and earth, how can I keep from singing?
Song written by Pauline T & Robert Lowry in 1868 based on Psalm 96.
