Commentary: The title should read "How Can I Keep from Singing?," since it is clearly a question in the lyrics, not an ejaculation. What a beautiful, stirring hymn!
"My life flows on in endless song
Above Earth's lamentation,
I hear the sweet, tho' far-off hymn
That hails a new creation;
Thro' all the tumult and the strife
I hear the music ringing;
It finds an echo in my soul—
How can I keep from singing?…
"No storm can shake my inmost calm
While to that refuge clinging;
Since Christ is Lord of heaven and earth,
How can I keep from singing?…"
