This hymn setting was recorded live at one of the services at the conference of DITA 10: Duke Initiative for Theology and the Arts. Arrangement by Carlos Colón.
How Can I Keep from Singing?
- My life flows on in endless song;
Above earth’s lamentation
I hear the sweet thought far off hymn
That hails a new creation.
Chorus: No storm can shake my inmost calm
While to the rock I’m clinging;
Since Christ is Lord of Heav’n earth,
How can I keep from singing?
- 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? (chorus)
- What though my joys and comfort die?
The Lord my Savior liveth:
What thought the darkness gather round!
Songs in the night He giveth. (chorus)
- 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? (chorus)
Thank you so much for sharing. I attended the conference but due to managing my chronic illness, I couldn’t attend these morning worship sessions. I loved hearing this.
Thank you, Carlee. Blessings on you!
Thanks, Carlos. Always good to bump into you.
As to the concert on Sept 20. It’s at 7 at AB Library, right?
