[Intro]
Em7   D/F#    Em/G    D/A
A     G       D/F#    Em7   Dadd9
 
[Verse 1]
   D         D7    G       D
My life flows on in endless song
                   Asus4  A
Above earth's lamentations,
  D              D7     G       D
I hear the real, though far-off hymn
Bm           A      D    G   D
That hails a new creation.
        D       D7     G       D
Through all the tumult and the strife
                     Asus4 A
I hear that music ringing,
   D         D7   G     D
It sounds an echo in my soul.
Bm        A         D      G  D
How can I keep from singing?
 
[Verse 2]
   D         D7    G       D
What tho' my joys and comforts die?
                   Asus4  A
The Lord my Saviour liveth,
  D              D7     G       D
What tho' the darkness round me close
Bm           A      D    G   D
Songs in the night he giveth
        D       D7     G       D
No storm can shake my inmost calm
                     Asus4 A
While to that rock i'm clinging,
   D         D7   G     D
Since Christ is Lord of heaven and earth
Bm        A         D      G  D
How can I keep from singing?
 
[Verse 3]
     D       D7      G         D
When tyrants tremble sick with fear
                           Asus4   A
And hear their death knell ringing,
     D       D7           G       D
When friends rejoice both far and near
Bm        A         D      G   D
How can I keep from singing?
     D       D7     G       D
In prison cell and dungeon vile,
                         Asus4 A
Our thoughts to them are winging;
   D         D7   G     D
When friends by shame are undefiled,
Bm        A         D      G  D
How can I keep from singing?
 
[Verse 3]
   D         D7    G       D
I lift my eyes; the cloud grows thin
                   Asus4  A
I see the blue above it,
  D              D7     G       D
And day by day this pathway smooths
Bm           A      D    G   D
Since first I learned to love it
        D       D7     G       D
The peace of Christ makes fresh my heart
                     Asus4 A
A fountain ever springing
   D         D7   G     D
All things are mine since I am his
Bm        A         D      G  D
How can I keep from singing?
