E A E B E B
My life flows on endless song above earth's lamentation
E A E B E
I hear the real, though far off hymn...that hails a new creation
B E B
Through all the tumult and the strife...I hear it's music ringing
E A E C#m B E
It sounds an echo in my soul, how can I keep from singing?

E A E B E B
What through the thempest loudly roars, I hear the truth, it liveth
E A E B E
What though the darkness round me close, songs in the night it giveth
B E B
No storm can shake my inmost calm...while to that rock I'm clinging
E A E C#m
Since Love is Lord of heaven and earth, how can I keep from singing?

E A E B E B
I lift my eyes, the cloud grows thin, I see the blue above it
E A E B E
And day by day this pathway clears, since first I learned to love it
B E B
The peace of God restores my soul, a fountain ever springing
E A E C#m B E
All things are mine since I am loved...how can I keep from singing?
