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.
2 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]
3 Burdens now may crush me down,
Disappointments all around,
Troubles speak in mournful sigh,
Sorrow through a tearful 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] Topics: Songs for Special Occasions Used With Tune: [Beams of heaven, as I go]
