Lyrics: Edward Picton-Turbervill
Music: Edward Picton-Turbervill
My life flows on in endless song;
Above earth's lamentation,
I hear the sweet far-off hymn
That hails a new creation.
Above the tumult and the strife
I hear the music ringing;
It sounds an echo in my soulโ
How can I keep from singing?
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.
How can I keep from singing?
And though the tempest round me roars,
And though the darkness round me draws,
No storm can shake my inmost calm,
Since Love is all.
I lift my eyes; the cloud grows thin;
I see the blue above it;
I lift my eyes; the cloud grows thin;
I see the new world coming.
How can I keep from singing?
