My life goes on in endless song;
Above earth's lamentation,
I hear the ring of a far off bell
That hails a new creation;
Above the tomb of Endless strife
I hear its music ringing;
It sounds an echo in my soul—
How can I keep from singing?
While tho' the tempest around me roars
I hear the truth; it liveth;
While tho' the darkness 'round me close?
Songs in the night it giveth.
No storm can shake my inmost calm
While to that rock I'm clinging;
Since Love is Lord of heaven and earth,
How can I keep from singing?
When tyrants tremble sick with fear
And hear their death-knell ringing
When friends rejoice both far and near
how can I keep from singing?!
No storm can shake my in most calm
While to that rock I'm clinging
Since Love is lord of heaven and earth
How can I keep from singing?
My life goes on in endless song
above earths lamentations
i hear the ring of a far off hymn
how can i keep from singing
Lord, how can I keep from singing?
How can I keep from singing?
Thank you lord, thank you lord.
"How Can I Keep From Singing?" (also known by its opening line "My Life Flows On in Endless Song") is a Christian hymn with music written by American Baptist minister Robert Wadsworth Lowry.
