How Can I Keep from Singing? lyrics

(My life flows on in endless song

Above the 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

It sounds an echo in my soul

How can I keep from singing?)

What though the tempest 'round me roars?

I know the truth it liveth

What though the darkness 'round me close?

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?

(How can I keep from singing?

It sounds an echo in my soul)

I lift my eyes, the cloud grows thin

I see the blue above it

And day by day this pathway smooths

Since first I learned to love it

The peace of Christ makes fresh my heart

A fountain ever springing

(All things are mine since I am his)

How can I keep from singing?

(How can I keep from singing?)
