Some Day (Tindley)

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.

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.

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.

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.
