Hymnal: Calvary Songs #20 (1875) First Line: My life flows on in endless song Lyrics: 1 My life flows on in endless song; Above earth's lamentation, I catch the sweet though far-off hymn That hails a new creation. Thro' all the tumult and the strife I hear the music ringing: It finds an echo in my soul; How can I keep from singing! 2 What tho' my joys and comforts die, The Lord my Saviour liveth; What tho' 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 heaven and earth, How can I keep from singing! 3 I lift my eyes, the cloud grows thin: I see the blue above it; And day by day this pathway smooths, 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!

My Life Flows On in Endless Song

Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #108 (1993) Lyrics: 1 My life flows on in endless song above earth’s lamentation. I hear the real though far-off hymn that hails a new creation. Through all the tumult and the strife, I hear the music ringing. It sounds an echo in my soul. How can I keep from singing? 2 What though the tempest 'round me roars, I know the truth, it liveth. What 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 prevails in heav'n and earth, how can I keep from singing? 3 When tyrants tremble as they hear the bells of freedom ringing, when friends rejoice both far and near, how can I keep from singing! To prison cell and dungeon vile our thoughts to them are winging; when friends by shame are undefiled, how can I keep from singing? Topics: Words and Deeds of Prophetic Women and Men Commitment and Action; Faith; Sorrow Languages: English Tune Title: SINGING
