Verse 1
[D] [D7] [G] [D]
My life goes on in endless song
[Asus4] [A]
Above earth's lamentations,
[D] [D7] [G] [D]
I hear the real, though far-off hymn
[Bm] [A] [D] [G] [D]
That hails a new creation.
Verse 2
[D] [D7] [G] [D]
Through all the tumult and the strife
[Asus4] [A]
I hear it's music ringing,
[D] [D7] [G] [D]
It sounds an echo in my soul.
[Bm] [A] [D] [G] [D]
How can I keep from singing?
Verse 3
[A] [D] [D7] [G] [D]
While though the tempest loudly roars,
[Asus4] [A]
I hear the truth, it liveth.
[D] [D7] [G] [D]
And though the darkness 'round me close,
[Bm] [A] [D] [G] [D]
Songs in the night it giveth.

[A] [D] [G] [D] N.C. [D] [G] [D]
No storm can shake my inmost calm,
N.C. [D] [G] [D] N.C. [D] [G] [D]
While to that rock I'm clinging.
N.C. [D] [G] [D] N.C. [D] [G] [D]
Since love is lord of heaven and earth
N.C. [Bm] [A] [D] [G] [D]
How can I keep from singing?
Verse 4
[D] [D7] [G] [D]
When tyrants tremble sick with fear
[Asus4] [A]
And hear their death knell ringing,
[D] [D7] [G] [D]
When friends rejoice both far and near
[Bm] [A] [D] [G] [D]
How can I keep from singing?
