My life goes on in Fendless Csong
AGbove earth's ClamenGtation
I hear the Creal, though Ffar off Chymn

It sounds an Cecho Fin my sCoul
How can I Amkeep from GsingCing?
[Verse 3]
What through the tempest Floudly Croars
I hear the Gtruth, it ClivGeth
What though the Cdarkness Fround me Cclose
Songs in the Gnight it givCeth
[Verse 4]
No storm can Gshake my Cinmost calm
While to that rock I'm clingGing
Since love is Clord of Fheaven and Cearth

The peace of GGod reCstores my soul
A fountain ever springGing
All things are Cmine, since FI am Cloved
How can I Amkeep from GsingCing?
