TEXT
"How Can I Keep From Singing"
Robert Lowry (1826-1899)
My life goes on in endless song
Above earth´s lamentations,
I hear the real, though far-off hymn
That hails a new creation.
Through all the tumult and the strife
I hear its music ringing,
It sounds an echo in my soul.
How can I keep from singing?
No storm can shake my inmost calm,
While to that rock I´m clinging.
Since love is lord of heaven and earth
How can I keep from singing?
"Amazing Grace"
John Newton (1725-1807)
Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind but now I see.

Above earth´s lamentations,

Through all the tumult and the strife

It sounds an echo in my soul.
How can I keep from singing?
No storm can shake my inmost calm,
While to that rock I´m clinging.
Since love is lord of heaven and earth
How can I keep from singing?

I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind but now I see.
