My life goes on in endless song above earth's lamentation
D G D A D
I hear the real though far off hymn that hails a new creation
F#m Bm D A
Through all the tumult and the strife I hear it's music ringing
D G D Bm A D
It sounds an echo in my soul how can I keep from singing
D G D A D
But through the thempest loudly roars I hear the truth it liveth
D G D Bm A D
What though the darkness round me close songs in the night it giveth
F#m Bm A
No storm can shake my inmost calm while to that rock I'm clinging
D G D Bm A D
Since Love is Lord of heaven and earth how can I keep from singing

F#m Bm A
The peace of God restores my soul a fountain ever springing
D G D Bm A D
All things are mine since I am loved how can I keep from singing
G Bm A D Bm A D Bb7

When tyrants tremble in their fear and hear their death knoll ringing
Eb Ab Eb Cm Bb Eb
When friends rejoice both far and near How can I keep from singing

In prison cell and dungeon vile our thoughts to them are winging
Eb Ab Eb Cm Bb Eb
When friends by shame are undefiled how can I keep from singing
