How Can I Keep From Singing

• C

               C     F       C
My life flows on in endless song;
              C       G
Above earth's lamentation,
            C          F       C
I hear the sweet, tho' far-off hymn
             C      G    C
That hails a new creation;
              C      F       C
Thro' all the tumult and the strife
           C
I hear the music ringing;
            C
It finds an echo in my soul
          F         C
How can I keep from singing?

             C        F        C
What tho' my joys and comforts die?
             C       G
The Lord my Saviour liveth;
               C        F      C
What tho' the darkness gather round?
              C       G     C
Songs in the night he giveth.
             C        F      C
No storm can shake my inmost calm
              C
While to that refuge clinging;
                C
Since Christ is Lord of heaven and earth,
           F         C
How can I keep from singing?

             C        F        C
I lift my eyes; the cloud grows thin;
             C       G
I see the blue above it;
               C        F      C
And day by day this pathway smooths,
              C           G     C
Since first I learned to love it;
             C             F       C
The peace of Christ makes fresh my heart,
            C
A fountain ever springing;
               C
All things are mine since I am his?
           F         C
How can I keep from singing?
