Song Lyrics
When friends rejoice both far and near, our thoughts to them are winging
how can i keep from singing
When tyrants tremble in their fear, though far-off hymn
when friends rejoice both far and near
Our thoughts to them are winging, what though the darkness round me grows Singing, our thoughts to them are winging
and hear their death knell ringing
i hear it s music ringing
How can i keep from singing, in prison cell and dungeon vile Keep, when tyrants tremble in their fear
In prison cell and dungeon vile, how can i keep from singing Singing, while to that rock i m clinging
Through all the tumult and the strife, how can i keep from singing, how can i keep from singing
Songs in the night it giveth, i hear the truth
Though far-off hymn, my life goes on in endless song
what though the darkness round me grows
that hails a new creation
That hails a new creation, while to that rock i m clinging
And hear their death knell ringing, it sounds an echo in my soul Keep, i hear it s music ringing
How can i keep from singing, my life goes on in endless song Keep, it sounds an echo in my soul
It sounds an echo in my soul, and hear their death knell ringing
how can i keep from singing
I hear the real, my life goes on in endless song
How can i keep from singing, when friends rejoice both far and near
How can i keep from singing, when friends rejoice both far and near, in prison cell and dungeon vile
When friends by shame are undefiled, when friends by shame are undefiled
in prison cell and dungeon vile
No storm can shake my inmost calm, since love is lord of heaven and earth
through all the tumult and the strife
while to that rock i m clinging
No storm can shake my inmost calm, our thoughts to them are winging From, i hear the truth
I hear it s music ringing, how can i keep from singing From, what though the darkness round me grows
