hymnal 491
1. 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."
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.
2. My heat 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.
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.
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.
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.
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."
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.
5. My Lord I'll follow, till I stand Erect upon that lofty land;
And, blest forever, sing His grace, Who led and set me in this place.
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.
