Lyrics
"Beams of Heaven as I Go"
Words and Music: Rev. Charles Albert Tindley, ca. 1906
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 it'll be, nor what the future holds for me,
but this i know; if Jesus leads me, I shall get home some day.
Often times 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 a while 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.
refrain
