How Can I Keep From Singing?
What’s the payoff for a cold, rainy spring? A sunny warm day when the world bursts into bloom. We’re having one of those today, and I wanted to share it with you. Here are some photos quickly taken in my garden along with the words to one of my favorite hymns of praise, written in 1860 by American Baptist minister, Robert Wadsworth Lowrey and later revised by Pete Seeger. I hope you enjoy.
My life flows on in endless song
Above earth’s lamentation
I hear the real, though far off hymn
That hails the 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?
