how can I keep from singing update

So the lyrics I put before were so not the right ones. But now that I know it better,(the song I mean)I love it even more. The harmonies are almost more than I can bare.



arranged by ronald staheli


My life flows on in endless song;
Above earth's lamentation
I hear the real though far-off hymn that hails a new creation.
Through all the tumult and the strife,
I hear that music ringing;
It sounds an echo in my soul:
How can I keep from singing.

My life flows on in endless song.
When tyrants tremble sick with fear and hear their death-knells ringing,
When friends rejoice both far and near,
How can I keep from singing.

In prison cell or dungeon vile
our thoughts to them are winging.
When dear friends by shame are undefiled,
How can I keep from singing.

If my joys and comforts die,
I know truth is living.
Tho' the darkness 'round me close,
How can I keep from singing.

No storm can shake,
while that Rock I am clinging,
since Love is Lord of heav'n and earth:
How can I keep from singing.

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 from love makes fresh my heart,
a song of hope is springing.
All things are mine since Truth I've found:
How can I keep from singing

All things are mine since Truth I've found:
How can I keep from singing.

How can I keep from singing,
from singing.
