Beams of Heaven
Author: Charles A. Tindley, 1851-1933 Appears in 21 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 4:8-10 First Line: Beams of heaven, as I go Refrain First Line: I do not know how long 'twill be Lyrics: 1 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.
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 someday.
2 Oftentimes my sky is clear,
joy abounds without a tear;
though a day's 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. [Refrain]
3 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 someday. [Refrain] Topics: Darkness; Death and Dying; Eternal Life; Old Age Used With Tune: SOME DAY

What sudden radiance from afar
doth glad us with its shining?
Brightness of God, that breaks our night
and fills the darkened souls with light,
who long for truth were pining.
Newly, truly, God's Word feeds us,
rightly leads us, life bestowing.
Praise, oh praise such love o'erflowing.
2 All praise the One who come to save,
who conquered death and scorned the grave;
each day new praise resoundeth;
the Truth, the Life who once was slain,
the Friend whom none shall trust in vain,
with grace for aye aboundeth.
Sing then; ring then; tell the story
filled with glory, till these praises
flood with light earth's darkest places. Topics: Church Year Epiphany; God Word of; Jesus Christ Way, Truth, Life; Jesus Christ Friend; Mission Used With Tune: WIE SCHÖN LEUCHTET Text Sources: German

calming storms and feeding thousands
with the very bread of peace.

quenching thirst in every land.

How Clear Is Our Vocation, Lord
Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.6.8.8.6.6 Appears in 19 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 4:7-12 Lyrics: 1 How clear is our vocation, Lord,
when once we heed your call
to live according to your word
and daily learn, refreshed, restored,
that you are Lord of all
and will not let us fall.
2 But if, forgetful, we should find
your yoke is hard to bear;
if worldly pressures fray the mind
and love itself cannot unwind
its tangled skein of care:
our inward life repair.
3 We marvel how your saints became
in hindrances more sure:
whose joyful virtues put to shame
the casual way we wear your name,
and by our faults obscure
your power to cleanse and cure.
4 In what you give us, Lord, to do,
together or alone,
in old routines or ventures new,
may we not cease to look to you:
the cross you hung upon,
all you endeavored, done.
