How Can I Keep From Singing

How can I keep
How can I keep
How can I?
How can I?

My life goes on in endless song
Above earth's lamentation
I hear the sweet though far off hymn
That hails a new creation

Through all the tumult and the strife
I hear the music ringing
It finds an echo in my soul
How can I keep from singing

No storm can shake my inmost calm
While to my refuge clinging
Since Christ is Lord of heaven and earth
How can I keep from singing

I lift my eyes, the clouds grow thin
I see the blue above it
And day by day this pathway smoothes
Since first I learned to love it

The peace of Christ makes fresh my heart
A fountain ever springing
All things are mine since I am His
His
His
I am His

How can I keep from singing
