​HOW CAN I KEEP FROM SINGING?

   Today my life goes on in song,​
Picture
Above earth's lamentation.
Picture
     I hear the real though far-off hymn,
Picture
       That hails a new creation.
Picture
     No storm can shake my inmost calm, 
Picture
    While to that rock I'm clinging,
Picture
     Since love is lord of heaven and earth,
Picture
      ​How can I keep from singing? 
Picture
      ​Through all the tumult and the strife,
Picture
​      I hear its music ringing,
Picture
​​      It sounds an echo in my soul.
Picture
​     How can I keep from singing?
Picture
      While though the tempest loudly roars,
Picture
       I hear the truth, it liveth.
Picture
      And thought the darkness round me close,
Picture
        Songs in the night it giveth.
Picture
     When tyrants tremble, sick with fear, 
Picture
       And hear their death knell ringing,
Picture
     When friends rejoice, both far and near,
Picture
    How can I keep from singing?
Picture
     No storm can shake my inmost calm,
Picture
Picture
Picture
     While to that rock I'm clinging,
Picture
​     Since love is lord of heaven and earth,
Picture
    ​How can I keep from singing?
