How Can I Keep From Singing? [Russian translation]

My life flows on in endless song

Above earth’s lamentation

I hear the sweet, though far-off hymn

That hails a new creation

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?

While though my joys and comforts die

I know my Savior liveth

While though the darkness gather round

Songs in the night He giveth

No storm can shake my inmost calm

While to that refuge, clinging

Since Christ is Lord of heaven and earth

How can I keep from singing?

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?

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?
