How Can I Keep From Singing

How can I keep (how can I keep)

How can I keep from singing

My life flows on in endless song

Above earth's lamentation

I hear the sweet (I hear the sweet)

The far off hymn (the far off hymn)

That hails a new, a new creation

Through all the tumult and the strife

I hear the music ringing

It finds an echo (echo)

In my soul (in my soul)

How can I keep from singing

The piece of Christ makes fresh my heart

A fountain ever springing

All things are mine since I am His

How can I keep from singing

Since Christ is Lord (since Christ is Lord)

Of heaven and earth (of heaven and earth)

How can I keep from singing
