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 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've got 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
