116. Higher Ground

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
On Christ the Rock and not on sand;
A higher plane than I have found,
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.

2 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. {Refrain]

3 I want to scale the utmost height
And catch a gleam of glory bright;
But still I'll pray till heav'n I've found,
"Lord, lead me on to higher ground. [Refrain]
