How Can I Keep From Singing |
| [00:03.63] |
My life flows on in endless song |
| [00:09.51] |
above earth's lamentation, |
| [00:14.64] |
I hear the real, though far-off hymn |
| [00:22.58] |
that hails a new creation |
| [00:29.99] |
Through all the tumult and the strife |
| [00:36.30] |
I hear that music ringing, |
| [00:41.57] |
It sounds an echo in my soul.. |
| [00:49.19] |
How can I keep from singing? |
| [00:57.72] |
what though the tempest round me roars, |
| [01:04.60] |
I know the truth, it liveth. |
| [01:09.06] |
what though the darkness 'round me close, |
| [01:15.74] |
songs in the night it giveth. |
| [01:22.13] |
No storm can shake my inmost calm |
| [01:28.82] |
while to that rock I'm clinging. |
| [01:35.86] |
Since love is lord of heaven and earth |
| [01:42.55] |
how can I keep from singing? |
| [01:49.94] |
When tyrants tremble sick with fear |
| [01:55.72] |
and hear their death knell ringing, |
| [02:02.76] |
when friends rejoice both far and near |
| [02:12.18] |
how can I keep from singing? |
| [02:19.39] |
In prison cell and dungeon vile |
| [02:25.29] |
our thoughts to them are winning, |
| [02:31.04] |
when friends by shame are undefiled |
| [02:38.20] |
how can I keep from singing? |
| [02:47.90] |
