Refrain What though the tempest loudly roars, I hear the truth, it liveth. What through 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?
When tyrants tremble, sick with fear, And hear their death-knell ringing, When friends rejoice both far and near, How can I keep from singing?

It immediately became one of my favorite songs, and I thought it sounded very hymn-like in spite of it being very secular in its lyrics. The third stanza always reminded me of the apostle Paul singing in prison. Several weeks ago, while looking for something else entirely, I happened across a website which I forgot to bookmark and now can't track down that had a poem that was obviously the original version of these lyrics attributed to Robert Lowry from Knowing that Robert Lowry had been a prolific 19th-century hymnist, I assumed that he had also written music for it.
At that moment I forgot whatever it was I had been looking for and immediately set out to try and find a copy of the sheet music for it. I was unable to find any kind of SATB version of the sort that would have been printed in a hymnal, but I was able to find a simple piano score accompaniment for it, which was enough for me. Below is a graphic to illustrate the differences between the two versions. Click to enlarge. According to the Wikipedia entry for this song which I have no reason to doubt , there is some argument as to the origination of the lyrics.
