My life flows on in endless song 
 Above earth’s lamentations 
 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 
 It sounds an echo in my soul 
 How can I keep from singing 
 
 I lift mine eyes the cloud grows thin 
 I see the blue above it 
 And day by day this pathway smoothes 
 Since first I learned to love it 
 
 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
