HOW CAN I KEEP FROM SINGING

[Verse 1]
My life flows on in endless song
Above Earth's lamentations
I catch the sweet though far-off hymn
That hails a new creation

[Chorus]
No storm can shake my inmost calm
While to that Rock I'm clinging
Since Christ is Lord of Heaven and Earth
How can I keep from singing?

[Verse 2]
Through all the tumult and the strife
I hear the music ringing
It finds an echo through my soul
How can I keep from singing?

[Chorus]
No storm can shake my inmost calm
While to that Rock I'm clinging
Since Christ is Lord of Heaven and Earth
How can I keep from singing?

[Verse 3]
What though my joys and comforts die?
The Lord my Savior liveth!
What though the darkness gather 'round?
Songs in the night He giveth!

[Chorus]
No storm can shake my inmost calm
While to that Rock I'm clinging
Since Christ is Lord of Heaven and Earth
How can I keep from singing?

[Verse 4]
The peace of Christ makes frеsh my heart
A fountain ever springing
All things arе mine since I am His
How can I keep from singing?

[Chorus]
No storm can shake my inmost calm
While to that Rock I'm clinging
Since Christ is Lord of Heaven and Earth
How can I keep from singing?
