How Can I Keep from Singing? by Robert Lowry 6/9/19

June 9, 2019

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 Saviour liveth;

What though the darkness round me close?

Songs in the night He giveth.

No storm can shake my inmost calm

While to that refuge clinging;

Since Christ is Lord of heaven and earth,

How can I keep from singing?

I lift my eyes; the cloud grows thin;

I see the blue above it;

And day by day this pathway smooths,

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?
