Mmm...
|
|
My life goes on in endless song
|
above earth's lamentations,
|
I hear the real, though far-off hymn
|
that hails a new creation.
|
|
Through all the tumult and the strife
|
I hear it's music ringing,
|
It sounds an echo in my soul.
|
How can I keep from singing?
|
|
Oh though the tempest loudly roars,
|
I hear the truth, it liveth.
|
Oh 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?
|
|
When tyrants tremble in their fear
|
And hear their death knell ringing,
|
When friends rejoice both far and near
|
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?
|
|
My life goes on in endless song
|
Above earth's lamentations,
|
I hear the real, though far-off hymn
|
How can I keep from singing?
|
|
Lord, how can I keep from singing?
|
Oh, how can I keep from singing?
