Lyrics

Verse 1

I’m pressing on the upward way, New heights I’m gaining ev’ry day; Still praying as I onward bound, “Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.” Lord

Verse 2

My heart has no (Heart has no) desire to stay (desire to stay) Where doubts arise (where doubts arise) and fears dismay; (and fears dismay;) Tho’ some may dwell (Some may swell ) where these abound, (where these abound,) My prayer, my aim (my prayer, my aim) is higher ground. (is higher ground.)

Verse 3

I want to live above the world, Tho’ Satan’s darts at me are hurled; For faith has caught the joyful sound, The song of saints on higher ground.

Verse 4

I want to scale (Want to scale) the utmost height, (the utmost height,) And catch a gleam (And catch a gleam) of glory bright; (of glory bright;) But still I’ll pray (Still I'll pray) till heav’n I’ve found, (till heav'n I've found,) “Lord, lead me on ("Lord, lead me on) to higher ground.” (to higher ground.")

Chorus

Lord, lift me Lord, lift me up and let me stand, By faith, on heaven’s tableland, A higher plane than I have found; Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.
