How Can I Keep from Singing |
My life flows on in endless song |
Above Earth’s lamentation |
I hear the real, though far off hymn |
That hails the new creation |
Above the tumult and the strife |
I hear the music ringing; |
It sounds an echo in my soul |
How can I keep from singing? |
What through the tempest loudly roars |
I hear the truth, it liveth |
What through 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? |
When tyrants tremble, sick with fear |
And hear their death-knell ringing |
When friends rejoice both far and near |
How can I keep from singing? |
In prison cell and dungeon vile |
Our thoughts to them are winging |
When friends by shame are undefiled |
How can I keep from singing? |
