How can I keep from singing (Listen to sample)
(Listen to midi)
C F C G G7 C
1. My life goes on in endless song, above earth's lamentations,
C F C G G7 C
I hear the real, though far off hymn, that hails a new creation.
Em Am C G
Through all the tumult and the strife, I hear it's music ringing,
C F C Am G C
it sounds an echo in my soul, how can I keep from singing?
C F C G G7 C
2. Although the tempest loudly roars, I hear the truth it liveth,
C F C Am G C
and though the darkness round me close, songs in the night it giveth.
Em Am C G
No storm can shake my inmost calm, while to that rock I'm clinging,
C F C Am G C
since love is lord of heav'n and earth, how can I keep from singing?
(Original moves up half a note here)
C F C G G7 C
3. When tyrants tremble in their fear, and hear their death knoll ringing,
C F C Am G C
when friends rejoice both far and near, how can I keep from singing?
Em Am C G
In prison cell and dungeon vile our thoughts to them are winging.
C F C Am G C
When friends by shame are undefiled, how can I keep from singing?
