This 19th century hymn was adapted and adopted by folks like Pete Seeger in the middle 20th century and became a sort of anthem of the folk revival/songs of social change movement. Pete Seeger Tao Rodriguez-Seeger Judy Collins Jean Redpath LYRICS How Can I Keep From Singing verses 1 and 3 and music by Robert Lowryverse 2 by Doris PlennMy life flows on in endless songAbove earth's lamentations,I hear the real, though far-off hymnThat hails a new creation.Through all the tumult and the strifeI hear its music ringing,It sounds an echo in my soul.How can I keep from singing?When tyrants tremble in their fearAnd hear their death knell ringing,When friends rejoice both far and nearHow can I keep from singing?In prison cell and dungeon vileOur thoughts to them are winging,When friends by shame are undefiledHow can I keep from singing?What though the tempest loudly roars,I hear the truth, it liveth.What though the darkness 'round me falls,Songs in the night it giveth.No storm can shake my inmost calm,While to that rock I'm clinging.Since love is lord of heaven and earthHow can I keep from singing?.
