-<poem>
-My life flows on in endless song;
-Above earth’s lamentation
-I hear the sweet 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 my joys and comforts die?
-The Lord my Savior liveth;
-What though the darkness gather round!
-Songs in the night He giveth:
-No storm can shake my inmost calm
-While to that refuge clinging;
-Since Christ is Lord of Heav’n and earth,
-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?
