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 a new creation

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?



I lift my eyes, the cloud grows thin

I see the blue above it

And day by day this pathway smooths

Since first I learned to love it

The peace and love makes fresh my heart

A fountain ever springing

All things are mine since I am his

How can I keep from singing?
