I'm pressing on the upward way,
New heights I'm gaining every 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.


My heart has no desire to stay
Where doubts arise and fears dismay;

Though some may dwell where those abound,
My prayer, my aim, is higher ground.


Refrain

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.


Refrain


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, plant my feet on higher ground."
