Hymn Title :Higher Ground

I'm pressing on the upward way,
New heights I'm gaining ev'ry 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 table land,
A higher plane that I have found,
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.

My heart has no desire to stay
Where doubts arise and fears dismay
Tho some may dwell where these abound,
My pray'r, my aim, is higher ground

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
