My life goes on in endless song Above earth's lamentations I hear the trumpets sounding strong That hails a new creation Through all the tumult and the strife I hear it's music ringing It ever echoes in my life How can I keep from singing? And though the shadows gather round The endless song it giveth My strength within and joy unbound The world of truth it liveth Though dark the night and long the road I hear the music ringing And with such power and grace bestowed How can I keep from singing? No storm can shake my inmost calm While to this rock I'm clinging How can I ever come to harm? How can I keep from singing? Then sings my soul with love profound A fountain ever springing Deep from the earth, how sweet the sound How can I keep from singing?
