How Can I Keep from Singing

My life goes on in endless song

Above earth's lamentations

I hear the trumpets sounding strong

That hails a new creation

Through all the tumult and the strife

I hear its music ringing

It ever echoes in my life

How can I keep from singing?And though the shadows gather 'round

The endless song it giveth

My strength within and joy abound

The world of truth it liveth

Though dark the night and long the road

I hear the music ringing

And with such power and grace bestowed

How can I keep from singing?No storm can shake my inmost calm

While to this rock I'm clinging

How can I ever come to harm?

How can I keep from singing?

Then sings my soul with love profound

A fountain ever springing

Deep from the earth how sweet the sound

How can I keep from singing?
