Hymn 437 HIGHER GROUND Lyrics

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

Chorus:
Lord, lift me up and let me stand,
By faith on heaven’s table land,
A higher plane that I have found;
Lord plant my feet on higher ground

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

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.

4. I want to scale the utmost height,
And catch a gleam of glory bright,
But still I’ll pray till heaven I’ve found,
“Lord, lead me on to higher ground”
