My life flows on in endless song;
Am G
Above earth's lamentation,
C/E F
I hear the sweet, tho' far-off hymn
Am C
That hails a new creation;
Am F
Thro' all the tumult and the strife
C Em
I hear the music ringing;
Am F
It finds an echo in my soul
Am C
How can I keep from singing?
C/E F
What tho' my joys and comforts die?
Am G
The Lord my Saviour liveth;
C/E F
What tho' the darkness gather round?
Am C
Songs in the night he giveth.
Am F
No storm can shake my inmost calm
C Em
While to that refuge clinging;
Am F
Since Christ is Lord of heaven and earth,
Am C
How can I keep from singing?
C/E F
I lift my eyes; the cloud grows thin;
Am G
I see the blue above it;
C/E F
And day by day this pathway smooths,
Am C
Since first I learned to love it;
Am F
The peace of Christ makes fresh my heart,
C Em
A fountain ever springing;
Am F
All things are mine since I am his?
Am C
How can I keep from singing?
