How Can I Keep From Singing

My [C]life flows on in [F]endless song a[C]bove earth’s lamen[G]tation

I [C]hear the sweet though [F]far off hymn that [G]hails a new cre[C]ation

Through [C]all the tumult [F]and the strife I [C]hear the music [G]ringing

It [C]finds an echo [F]in my soul [G]how can I keep from [C]singing

 

What [C]though my joys and [F]comforts die the [C]Lord my Savior [G]liveth

What [C]though the [F]darkness gather round songs [G]in the night He [C]giveth

No [C]storm can shake my [F]inmost calm while [C]to that refuge [G]clinging

Since [C]Christ is Lord of [F]Heav’n and earth [G]how can I keep from [C]singing

 

I [C]lift mine eyes the [F]cloud grows thin I [C]see the blue above [G]it

And [C]day by day this [F]pathway smoothes since [G]first I learned to [C]love it

The [C]peace of Christ [F]makes fresh my heart a [C]fountain ever [G]springing

All [C]things are mine since [F]I am His [G]how can I keep from [C]singing
