1 Does sin beset your daily path,
Until your courage fails?
O Christian, pray and wrestle ‘til
Your faith o’er all prevails.
Refrain:
Climb higher and higher, until the heights you view,
Press onward and upward, your strength renew;
Climb higher and higher and reach your heart’s desire,
O Christian, claim your blessing,
Climb higher and higher.
2 Be not content until you win
The blessing meant for you;
For God has promised and you know
His word is ever true. [Refrain]
3 If in the watches of the night
Your form is racked with pain;
Let faith perform her willing task
And give you strength again. [Refrain]
4 Climb higher, Christian, ‘til your soul
With Christ shall be as one;
Nor be content until He speaks
Thy glorious vict’ry won. [Refrain]
