Faryl Smith - How Can I Keep From Singing? lyrics

rate me

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

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?
