How Can I Keep From Singing?

My life flows in endless song, above earth's lamentation,
I hear the real though far off hymn, that hails a new creation.
No storm can shake my inmost calm, I hear the music ringing, 
It sounds an echo in my soul. How can I keep from singing?

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 or dungeon dark, our thoughts to them are winging,
When friends by shame are undefiled, how can I keep from singing.

What though the tempest 'round me roars, I know the truth, it liveth.
What though the darkness 'round me close, songs in the night it giveth.
No storm can shake my inmost calm, while to that rock I'm clinging.
Since love is Lord of heaven and earth. How can I keep from singing?

I lift my eyes, the clouds grow thin, I see the blue above it.
And day by day this pathway clears, since first I learned to love it.
The peace from love makes fresh my heart, a song of hope is ringing.
All things are mine, since truth I've found. How can I keep from singing.

Domine Jesu Christe, Rex gloriae, libera animas omnium fidelium 
defunctorum de poenis inferni et de profundo lacu: libera eas de ore 
leonis, ne absorbeat eas tartarus, ne cadant in obscurum: sed signifer 
sanctus Michael repraesentet eas in lucem sanctam: Quam olim Abrahae 
promisisti et semini ejus.  Hostias et preces tibi, Domine, laudis 
offerimus: tu suscipe pro animabus illis, quarum hodie memoriam facimus: 
fac eas, Domine, de morte transire ad vitam. Quam olim Abrahae promisisti 
et semini ejus.

O Lord Jesus Christ, King of glory, deliver the souls of all the faithful 
departed from the pains of Hell and from the deep pit: deliver them from 
the mouth of the lion, that Hell may not swallow them up, and they may not 
fall into darkness; but may the holy standard-bearer Michael introduce 
them to the holy light: Which Thou didst promise of old to Abraham and 
to his posterity. We offer Thee, O Lord a sacrifice of praise and 
prayers; do Thou receive them in behalf of those souls whom we commemorate 
this day: grant them, O Lord, to pass from death to life. Which Thou didst 
promise of old to Abraham and to his posterity.
