How Can I Keep From Singing
"How Can I Keep From Singing?" (also known by its first line "My Life Flows On in Endless Song") is an American folksong originating as a Christian hymn. The author of the lyrics was known only as 'Pauline T', and the original tune was composed by American Baptist minister Robert Lowry. The song is frequently, though erroneously, cited as a traditional Quaker or Shaker hymn. The original composition has now entered into the public domain, and appears in several hymnals and song collections, both in its original form and with a revised text that omits most of the explicitly Christian content and adds a verse about solidarity in the face of oppression. Though it was not originally a Quaker hymn, Quakers adopted it as their own in the twentieth century and use it widely today. Authorship and lyrics The first known publication of the words was on August 27, 1868, in ''The New York Observer''. Titled "Always Rejoicing", and attributed to "Pauline T.", [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
