How Can I Keep from Singing?

My life flows on in endless song

Above earth’s lamentation

I hear the real, though far-off hymn

That hails a new creation

.

No storm can shake my inmost calm

While to that rock I'm clinging

Since love is lord of heaven and earth

How can I keep from singing?

Through all the tumult and the strife

I hear the music ringing

It sounds an echo in my soul -

How can I keep from singing?

No storm can shake my inmost calm

While to that rock I'm clinging

Since love is lord of heaven and earth

How can I keep from singing?

What though the tempest loudly roars

I hear the truth; it liveth

What though the darkness gather round

Songs in the night it giveth

No storm can shake my inmost calm

While to that rock I'm clinging

Since love is lord of heaven and earth

How can I keep from singing?
