'My life goes on in endless song
Above earth's lamentations,
I hear the real, though far-off hymn
That hails a new creation.
'Through all the tumult and the strife
I hear it's music ringing,
It sounds an echo in my soul.
How can I keep from singing?'
from How Can I Keep from Singing by Robert Wadsworth Lowry
Ode to Joy from the final movement of the 9th Symphony by Ludwig van Beethoven
