_ _ _ _ [Ab] My life flows on in endless song Above earth's _ lamentation
I hear the reel though far off hymn That hails [Fm] a new creation
_ No storm can shake my inmost calm While to that rock I'm clinging
It sounds an echo [Ab] in my soul _ How can I keep from [Db] singing? _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ What though the darkness round me falls I know the truth, it liveth
What though the tempest round me roars Songs in the night, it giveth
No storm can shake my inmost calm While to that rock I'm clinging
It sounds an echo in my soul _ How can I keep from _ singing?
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ And when tyrants tremble sick with fear And hear their death knells ringing
When friends rejoice both far and near How can I keep from singing?
In prison cell and dungeon vile Our thoughts to them are [Dbm] winging
When friends by shame [Db] are undefiled _ _ How can I keep from singing?
My _ life flows on in endless song Above earth's _ lamentation
I _ hear the reel though far off hymn That hails a new _ creation
Through all the tumult and the strife Those freedom bells come ringing
_ Since love is Lord of heaven and earth _ _ _ _ _
