[00:10.34]My life goes on in endless song
[00:18.32]above earth’s lamentations,
[00:25.38]I hear the real, though far-off hymn
[00:33.04]that hails a new creation.
[00:41.54]Through all the tumult and the strife
[00:48.41]I hear it’s music ringing,
[00:54.56]It sounds an echo in my soul.
[01:03.10]How can I keep from singing?
[01:12.23]While though the tempest loudly roars,
[01:19.62]I hear the truth, it liveth.
[01:26.43]And though the darkness ’round me close,
[01:32.77]songs in the night it giveth.
[01:39.71]No storm can shake my inmost calm,
[01:46.57]while to that rock I’m clinging.
[01:53.26]Since love is lord of heaven and earth
[02:01.59]how can I keep from singing?

[02:29.42]When tyrants tremble in their fear
[02:36.88]and hear their death knell ringing,
[02:44.14]when friends rejoice both far and near
[02:51.85]how can I keep from singing?
[02:59.23]In prison cell and dungeon vile
[03:06.32]our thoughts to them are winging,
[03:12.62]when friends by shame are undefiled
[03:20.81]how can I keep from singing?
