Beams of Heaven, as I go, Through this wilderness below, Guide my feet in peaceful ways, Turn my midnights into days; When in the darkness I would grope, Faith always sees a star of hope, And soon from all life’s grief and danger, I shall be free some day. Refrain I do not know how long ’twill be, Nor what the future holds for me, But this I know, if Jesus leads me, I shall get home some day. Oftentimes my sky is clear, Joy abounds without a tear, Though a day so bright begun, Clouds may hide tomorrow’s sun; There’ll be a day that’s always bright, A day that never yields to night, And in its light the streets of glory I shall behold some day. Refrain Harder yet may be the fight, Right may often yield to might, Wickedness awhile may reign, Satan’s cause may seem to gain, There is a God that rules above, With hand of power and heart of love, If I am right, He’ll fight my battle, I shall have peace some day. Refrain Burdens now may crush me down, Disappointments all around, Troubles speak in mournful sigh, Sorrow through a tear stained eye; There is a world where pleasure reigns, No mourning soul shall roam its plains, And to that land of peace and glory I want to go some day.
