How can I keep from singing? - Libera

My life flows on in endless song

above earth’s lamentation

I hear the real though far-off hymn

that hails a new creation

No storm can shake my inmost calm

while to that rock I’m clinging

It sounds an echo in my soul

how can I keep from singing?

What though the tempest loudly roars

I know the truth it liveth

What though the darkness round me close

Songs in the night it giveth

No storms 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?

I lift my eyes, the cloud grows thin

I see the blue above it and day by day this pathway smoothes

since first I learned to love it The peace and love makes fresh my heart

a fountain ever springing

All things are mine since I am his

how can I keep from singing?
