1 I cannot keep from singing
My songs of joy and love,
My humble tribute bringing,
To praise my God above.

Refrain:
I cannot keep from singing,
For joy and gladness reign;
My heart with song is ringing,
A glad triumphant strain.

2 I cannot keep from telling
Of Christ who died for me;
Of God whose love is dwelling
Within my heart, so free. [Refrain]

3 I cannot keep from pleading
With every one I meet;
Oh, come unto the Father,
And taste his love so sweet. [Refrain]
