How Can I Keep from Singing

My life flows 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 that music ringing
 It finds an echo in my soul
 How can I keep from singing?
 ♪
 What though my joys and comforts die?
 The Lord my Savior liveth
 What though the darkness gather round?
 Songs in the night he giveth.
 No storm can shake my inmost calm
 While to that refuge clinging
 Since Christ 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 of Christ makes fresh my heart
 A fountain ever springing!
 For all things are mine since I am his!
 How can I keep from singing?
 No storm can shake my inmost calm
 While to that refuge clinging
 Since Christ is Lord of heaven and earth
 How can I keep from singing?
