Author: Robert Lowry, 1825-1899 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Worship #763 (2006) Meter: 8.7.8.7 with refrain Refrain First Line: No storm can shake my inmost calm Lyrics: 1 My life flows on in endless song;
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 Christ 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 Savior liveth.
What though the darkness gather round?
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: Grief, Sorrow; Trust, Guidance; Grief, Sorrow; Praise, Thanksgiving; Trust, Guidance Languages: English Tune Title: HOW CAN I KEEP FROM SINGING
