My life flows on

 

My life flows on in endless song, above earth's lamentation.

I catch the sweet, though far off hymn, that hails a new creation

 

Refrain:

No storm can shake my inmost calm while to that rock I'm clinging.

Since love is lord of heav'n and earth, how can I keep from singing?

 

Through all the tumult and the strife, I hear that music ringing.

It finds an echo in my soul.  How can I keep from singing?

 

Refrain

Ubi caritas et amor

 

Ubi caritas et amor,

ubi caritas, Deus ibi est.

 

(Where charity and love are found,

God is there.)

 

Text:  Ubi caritas et amor, 9th century

Music:  Jacques Berthier
