My life goes on in endless song Above earth’s lamentations, I hear the real, though far-off hymn That hails a new creation. Through all the tumult and the strife I hear that music ringing, It sounds an echo in my soul. How can I keep from singing? While though the tempest loudly roars, I hear the truth, it liveth. And though the darkness 'round me close, Songs in the night it giveth. No storm can shake my inmost calm, While to that rock I’m clinging. Since love is Lord of heaven and earth, How can I keep from singing? by Robert Lowry, 1868
