1. I'm pressing on the upward way, new heights I'm gaining ev'ry day
Still praying as I'm onward bound, "Lord, plant my feet on higher ground."
Refrain:
Lord, lift me up and let me stand by faith on heaven's table-land
A higher plane than I have found, Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.
2. My heart has no desire to stay where doubts arise and fears dismay;
Though some may dwell where these abound, My pray'r, my aim, is higher ground.
3. I want to live above the world, though 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 heav'n I've found, "Lord, lead me on to higher ground."
