How Can I Keep from Singing

My life flows on in endless song.

Above earth's lamentation,

I hear the sweet and distant hymn.

That hails a new creation.

In every triumph; every trial.

I hear the music ringing,

It finds an echo in my soul.

How can I keep from singing?

Interlude

And when my joys and comforts die,

The Lord my Savior liveth.

And when the darkness gathers round,

Songs in the night He giveth.

No storm can shake my inmost calm,

When to that refuge clinging.

Since Christ is Lord of heaven and earth

How can I keep from singing?

How can I keep from singing?

How can I keep from singing?
