Jean Watson

Lyrics

My life flows on in endless song above earth’s lamentation
I hear the sweet, tho’ far-off hymn that hails a new creation
Through all the tumult and the strife I hear the music ringing
it finds an echo in my soul how can I keep from singing

What tho’ my joys and comforts die the Lord my savior 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

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
