    How Can I Keep From Singing?

    A D A E E7 A
    My life goes on in endless song, above earth’s lamentations,
    A D A E E7 A
    I hear the real, though far-off hymn, that hails a new creation.
    C#m F#m A E
    Through all the tumult and the strife, I hear its music ringing.
    A D A F#m E7 A
    It sounds an echo in my soul, how can I keep from singing?

    A D A E E7 A
    Although the tempest loudly roars, I hear the truth it liveth,
    A D A E E7 A
    And though the darkness round me close, songs in the night it giveth.
    C#m F#m A E
    No storm can shake my inmost calm, while to that rock I’m clinging;
    A D A F#m E7 A
    Since love is lord of heav’n and earth, how can I keep from singing?

    A D A E E7 A
    When tyrants tremble in their fear, and hear their death knell ringing,
    A D A E E7 A
    When friends rejoice both far and near, how can I keep from singing?
    C#m F#m A E
    In prison cell and dungeon vile our thoughts to them are winging.
    A D A F#m E7 A
    When friends by shame are undefiled, how can I keep from singing?
    Old Shaker Hymn
