C                 F      C
My life flows on in endless song;
               Am        G
Above earth's lamentation,
    C                     F        C
I hear the sweet, though far-off hymn
              G     C
That hails a new creation

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


[Verse 2]
       C                  F       C
What though my joys and comforts die?
           Am      G
I know my Savior liveth
       C                   F
What though the darkness gather round?
      C       G        C
Songs in the night he giveth

    C                  F
No storm can shake my inmost calm
      C        F       G
While to that refuge clinging
        C                F           C
Since Christ is Lord of heaven and earth
C          G         C
How can I keep from singing?


[Verse 3]
   C                  F          C
I lift my eyes, the cloud grows thin
           Am     G
I see the blue above it
     C               F
And day by day this pathway smooths,
        C        G        C
Since first I learned to love it,

     C                      F
The peace of Christ makes fresh my heart
    C       F    G
A fountain ever springing
          C                   F     C
For all things are mine since I am his
C          G         C
How can I keep from singing?
