Gwyneth walker how can i keep from singing lyrics

In prison cell and dungeon vile Our thoughts to them are winging, When friends by shame are undefiled How can I keep from singing? From: Carol Date: 07 Aug 06 - PM I lift my eyes, the cloud grows thin, I see the blue above it And day by day this pathway clears, since first I learned to love it The peace of God restores my soul, a fountain ever springing All things are mine since I am loved; how can I keep from singing?

I've just acquired this verse from somewhere on the web I think there was another one but I didn't like the words!!! Plus no sign of the tyrants tremble verse. Sankey My life flows on in endless song; Above earth's lamentation I hear the sweet though far off hymn That hails a new creation: Through all the tumult and the strife I hear the music ringing; It finds an echo in my soul— How can I keep from singing?

I'm guessing Carol got these lyrics from cyberhymnal. So, what came out was people split between two tunes, and nobody came to agreement. Here's the Gutfreund tune, which is only subtly different from the Lowry tune at Cyberhymnal, but different enough to be problematic.

Click to play Gutfreund uses three verses, with "no storm can shake Here are the beginnings of the three verses: My life flows on in endless song Through all the tumult and the strife What though the tempest Gutfreund uses "love is lord of Heaven and Earth Choral Praise also uses "No storm can shake Love is Lord Here are the verses from Choral Praise : My life flows on in endless song When tyrants tremble I hear the real, though far-off hymn That hails a new creation.

Since Christ is Lord of heaven and earth, How can I keep from singing? Through all the tumult and the strife, I hear that music ringing; It sounds and echoes in my soul; How can I keep from singing?

What though the darkness gather round? Songs in the night it giveth. Choir directors can't handle free meter, but the publishers have to have something we folkies can recognize, so they do some interesting things with notation on this song. The Collected Reprints from Sing Out!

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 winging. When friends by shame are undefiled How can I keep from singing? The Catholic hymnals leave out this Lowry half-verse: I lift mine eyes; the cloud grows thin; I see the blue above it; And day by day this pathway smoothes Since first I learned to love it.

Note that if you take the Lowry verses from Cyberhymnal and split them, and use "No storm can shake Add Plenn's "tyrants" verse, and split off "prison cells" and you've got seven. I don't think any other non-parody verses have been posted in the other threads see crosslinks above.

I forgot to mention that there's a very nice choral arrangement and recording on this page click. Masato found the link and posted in in another thread. I hear the real though far-off hymn That hails a new creation. Are you a beginner who started playing last month? Do you usually like this style of music?
