Hymn 263
Higher Ground
1. I'm pressing on the upward way,
New heights I'm gaining ev'ry day;
still praying as I onward bound,
"Lord plant my feet on higher ground."
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.
2. My heart has no desire to stay
where doubts arise and fears dismay;
Tho' some may dwell where this abound,
My pray'r,my aim is 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 songs of saints on higher ground.
4. I want to scale the utmost height,
And catch a gleam of glory bright;
But still I'll pray heav'n I've found,
"Lord,lead me on to higher Ground."
