This is the Morgan State Choir under direction of the late Dr. Nathan Carter singing "Beams of Heaven" in 1990. Ernest Saunders also sings on part of the song.
I thank God for the gift of Nathan Carter and his dedication to the young men and women of Morgan Stete University. I have enjoyed countless hours of their beautifully blended voices. Thank God for beautiful music.
I was three years old when this trumpeter of directors taught me how to sing the songs of Zion, and my heart hurted when he transition from labor of music to directing in heaven in 2004, God bless this epistle of music, thank you Dr. Nathan Mitchell Carter (1936-2004), and your life for the Morgan state university choir (1970-2004).
An awesome young man of God. I was blessed to be called by him, "Dad" My sons were his "brothers", My wife was a second mom., We miss him and speak of him often.
Look at this. This is absolutely angelic. And the talent that came from THIS particular choir is nothing short of phenomenal. From Ernie Saunders to Maysa Leak to Charnita Edwards to Steven Jones.
I had the pleasure of signing under his directorship! His arrangement of Hymns are priceless as this one. I remember when we premiered this and his arrangement of It is Well wow the presence of the Lord
My God... year after year, I listen to this.. and it with each passing year, it is the the one Hyman that conveys my eternal hope ...I want nothing more but to get “Home, Someday - if Jesus leads my, I know I will..

Refrain 1. Beams of heaven as I go, through the 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 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. Harder yet may be the fight; right may often yield to might; wickedness a while 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 someday. (Refrain) 4. 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 shall want to go someday. (Refrain )
