How Can I Keep from Singing

Anonymous • English

Primary Scripture: 2 Samuel 22:2-7

Verse 1

My life flows on in endless song, above earth’s lamentation. I catch the sweet, though far-off hymn that hails a new creation.

Chorus

No storm can shake my inmost calm while to that Rock I’m clinging. Since Love is lord of heav’n and earth, how can I keep from singing?

Verse 2

Through all the tumult and the strife, I hear that music ringing. It finds an echo in my soul. How can I keep from singing?

Chorus

No storm can shake my inmost calm while to that Rock I’m clinging. Since Love is lord of heav’n and earth, how can I keep from singing?

Verse 3

What though my joys and comforts die, I know my Savior liveth. What though the darkness gather round? Songs in the night he giveth.

Chorus

No storm can shake my inmost calm while to that Rock I’m clinging. Since Love is lord of heav’n and earth, how can I keep from singing?

Verse 4

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?

Chorus

No storm can shake my inmost calm while to that Rock I’m clinging. Since Love is lord of heav’n and earth, how can I keep from singing?
