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.
Refrain:
Lord lift me up and let me stand
By faith on heavens tableland
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 these abound
My prayer my aim is higher ground.

I want to live above the world
Though Satans darts at me are hurled
For faith has caught the joyful sound
The song of saints on higher ground.

I want to scale the utmost height
And catch a gleam of glory brigiht
But still I'll pray till heaven I've found
Lord lead me on to higher ground.
