How Can I Keep From Singing?

How Can I Keep From Singing?

I heard this amazing old hymn today at our Sunday afternoon concert with Diane Susek. The words are powerful and I know they will be a blessing to you ...

My life flows 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 strifeI
hear the music ringing;It finds an echo in my soul—
How can I keep from singing?

What though my joys and comforts die?
The Lord my Savior liveth;
What though the darkness gather round!
Songs in the night He giveth:
No storm can shake my inmost calm
While to that refuge clinging;
Since Christ is Lord of Heav’n and earth,
How can I keep from singing?

I lift mine eyes; the cloud grows thin;
I see the blue above it;
And day by day this pathway smoothes
Since first I learned to love it:
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?

Good words to ponder as you begin this new week. Don't let the song go out of your heart! -- Bill Welte is President and CEO of America's KESWICK
