HOW CAN I KEEP FROM SINGING

A Hymn by Robert Lowry

No Storm can shake my inmost calm,

While to the rock I was clinging.

Since Love is Lord, how could I keep from singing?

My life has flowed on in endless song,

Above earth’s lamentation.

I heard the real, though far-off hymn,

That hailed a new creation.

Through all the tumult and the strife,

I heard the music ringing.

It did sound and echo in my soul,

How could I keep from singing?

What though the tempest ‘round me roared,

I heard the truth, it liveth.

What though the darkeness ’round me closed,

Songs in the night it giveth.

The peace of Christ has made fresh my heart,

A fountain ever springing.

All things are mine since I am his,

How can I keep from singing?
