My life flows on in endless song above earth's lamentation
E A E C#m B E
I hear the sweet, though far off hymn...that hails a new creation
G#m C#m E C#m E B
Through all the tumult and the strife...I hear it's music ringing
E A E G#m C#m B E
It sounds an echo in my soul, how can I keep from singing?
E A E B E B
What though my joys and comforts die? I know my Savior liveth.
E A E C#m B E
What though the darkness round me close, songs in the night He giveth
G#m C#m E C#m E B
No storm can shake my inmost calm...while to that refuge clinging
E A E G#m C#m B E
Since Christ is Lord of heaven and earth, how can I keep from singing?
E A E B E B
I lift my eyes, the cloud grows thin, I see the blue above it
E A E C#m B E
And day by day this pathway smoothes, since first I learned to love it
G#m C#m E C#m E B
The peace of Christ makes fresh my heart, a fountain ever springing
E A E G#m C#m B E
All things are mine since I am His...how can I keep from singing?
