Always Singing

Recently, I was introduced to this beautiful hymn. I'd never heard it before, but the words resounded in my heart with a special depth and meaning. The printed words are the original, and the video clip is a slightly different version of it. Still, as a follow-up to yesterday's "Quote of the Day," I thought it was rather fitting. I want to share with you this lovely song…and I hope that you keep on singing this day!

How Can I Keep From Singing

"My life flows on in endless song;

Above earth's lamentation

I hear the sweet though far off hymn

That hails a new creation:

Through all the tumult and the strife

I hear the music ringing;

It finds an echo in my soul -

How can I keep from singing?

What though my joys and comforts die?

The Lord my Savior liveth;

What though the darkness gather round!

Songs in the night He giveth:

No storm can shake my inmost calm

While to that refuge clinging;

Since Christ is Lord of Heav'n and earth,

How can I keep from singing?

I life mine eyes; the cloud grows thin;

I see the blue above it;

And day by day this pathway smoothes

Since first I learned to love it:

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?
