above earth’s lamentation:
I catch the sweet, though far off, hymn
that hails a new creation.
Refrain:
No storm 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?
2 Through all the tumult and the strife,
I hear that music ringing.
It finds an echo in my soul—
how can I keep from singing? [Refrain]
3 What though my joys and comforts die?
The Lord, my Saviour, liveth.
What though the darkness round me close?
Songs in the night he giveth. [Refrain]
4 The peace of Christ makes fresh my heart,
a fountain ever springing.
All things are mine since I am his!
How can I keep from singing? [Refrain] Topics: Life in Christ Our Response to Christ - In Devotion; Assurance; Despair and Trouble; Music and Song Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:21-23 Languages: English Tune Title: HOW CAN I KEEP FROM SINGING
No storm can shake my inmost calm
