Beams of Heaven

Author: C. A. Tindley Hymnal: Yes, Lord! #400 (1982) First Line: Beams of heaven, as I go Refrain First Line: I do not know how long 'twill be Lyrics: 1 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. 2 Oftentimes my sky is clear, Joy abounds without a tear, Though a day so bright begun, Cloud's 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] 3 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 pow'r and heart of love, If I am right, He'll fight my battle, I shall have peace some day. [Refrain] 4 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.

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 pow'r and heart of love; If I am right, He'll fight my battle, I shall have peace some day. 4. Burdens now may crush me down, Disappointments all around, Troubles speak in mournful sigh, Sorrow through a tear-stain'd eye.
