Hymns Supplied Through the Gracious Generosity

Words & Music: Charles Albert Tindley, 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 '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 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
