Marie Barlow: Music

"My life flows on in endless song above earth's lamentation. I hear the far-off distant hymn that hails a new creation.

Throughout the storm, throughout the strife I hear the music ringing. It finds an echo in my soul...How Can I Keep From Singing?

While though the tempest loudly roars, I know the truth - it liveth. What though the darkness gather round, songs in the night He giveth.

No storm can shake my inmost calm when to that rock I'm clinging! Since Christ is Lord of heav'n and earth, How Can I Keep From Singing?"
