My life goes on in endless song Above earth´s lamentation I hear the real, though far off hymn That hails the new creation What though the tempest loudly roars
I hear the truth, it lives What though the darkness round me close Songs in the night, it gives When tyrants tremble, sick with fear And hear their death-knell ringing When friends rejoice both far and near
How can I keep from singing?
No storm can shake my inmost calm While to that rock I´m clinging Since love is Lord in Heaven and Earth
