Lyrics

Beams of heaven as i go, Through the 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 someday. 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 someday. 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 someday. 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 someday. 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 someday. 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 someday. 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 shall want to go someday. 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 someday.
