How Can I Keep From Singing Lyrics - Singles - Faryl Smith

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 the 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 Heav'n and earth, 

How can I keep from singing? 

I lift mine eyes; the cloud grows 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-- 

How can I keep from singing?
