[Verse 1]
My life goes on in endless song
Above earth's lamentation
I hear the sweet, though far-off hymn
That hails a new creation
Through all the tumult and the strife
I hear the music ringing
It finds an echo in my soul
How can I keep from singing?

[Verse 2]
What though the tempest 'round me roar?
I hear the truth, it's living
What though the darkness 'round me close?
Songs of the night it's giving
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

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
No storm can shake my inmost calm
While to that rock I'm clinging
To Jesus, Lord of heavеn and earth
How can I keep—
How can I keep—
How can I keep from singing?
