How Can I Keep From Singing

How Can I Keep From Singing

Traditional

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 that 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 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? How can I keep from singing?
