Author: Charles Albert Tindley Hymnal: Hymns and Devotions for Daily Worship #88 (2024) Meter: 7.7.7.7.8.8.9.6 with refrain Scripture: Deuteronomy 26:7 First Line: Beams of Heaven as I go Lyrics: 1. Beams of Heaven as I go
Thru' this wilderness below.
Guide my feet in peaceful ways,
Turn my midnights into days;
When in 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,
Tho' 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 someday. [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-stain'd 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. [Refrain] Topics: Lent Languages: English Tune Title: SOME DAY
