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.”

Refrain:
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 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. [Refrain]

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. [Refrain]

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.” [Refrain]
