[Verse 1]
[D]My [G]lif[D]e g[A]oes on[D]
in [G]endless [D]song
[A]Above earth's lamentation[D]s,
I hear the real, [G]though far- [D]off hymn
That [A]hails a new creation.

[Verse 2]
[D]Through all the tumul[F#m]t and [Bm]the strife
[D]I hear it's music r[A]inging,
It sounds an [D]echo [G]in [D]my soul.
How can I [Bm]keep [A]from [D]singing?

[Verse 3]

[Verse 4]
[Bm]inmost calm,
While [D]to that rock I'm [A]clinging.

[Bm][A][D][Bm][A][D][Bb]
When tyrants [Eb]tremble in [Ab]their [Eb]fear
And [Bb]hear their death knell [Eb]ringing,
When friends rejoice both [Ab]far and [Eb]near
How [Cm]can I keep [Bb]from singing?[Eb]

[Verse 5]

When friends [Eb]by shame [Ab]are un[Eb]defiled
How can I [Cm]keep [Bb]from [Eb]singing?
