How Tin I Keep from Singing
My life flows on in countless song;
To a higher place earth's lamentation,
I take hold of the sweet, though furthermost hymn
That hails a new creation;
Through all the tumult and the strife,
I hear the musick ringing;
Information technology finds an repeat in my soul –
How tin I continue from singing?
What though my joys and condolement die?
The Lord my Saviour liveth;
what though the darkness gather circular?
Songs in the night he giveth;
No tempest can shake my inmost calm,
While to that refuge clinging;
Since Christ is Lord of heav'due north and earth,
How can I continue from singing?
I lift my eyes; the cloud grows thin;
I see the blueish to a higher place it;
And day past mean solar day this pathway smoothes,
Since starting time I learned to beloved it;
The peace of Christ makes fresh my middle,
A foundation ever springing;
All things are mine since I am his –
How can I go along from singing?
Colossians 3:xvi
