Higher Ground
Author: Johnson Oatman, Jr. Hymnal: Sing Joyfully #448 (1989) Topics: Aspiration First Line: I'm pressing on the upward way Refrain First Line: Lord, lift me up and let me stand Lyrics: 1 I'm pressing on the upward way,
New heights I'm gaining every day;
Still praying as I'm 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 heav'n I've found,
"Lord, lead me on to higher ground." (Refrain)

A Charge to Keep I Have
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Hymnal for Worship and Celebration #448 (1986) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Aspiration Lyrics: 1 A charge to keep I have,
A God to glorify,
A never-dying soul to save,
And fit it for the sky.
2 To serve the present age,
My calling to fulfill;
O may it all my pow'rs engage
To do my Master's will!
3 Arm me with jealous care
As in Thy sight to live,
And now Thy servant, Lord, prepare
A strict account to give!
4 Help me to watch and pray,
And still on Thee rely,
O let me not my trust betray,
But press to realms on high.
Amen. Tune Title: BOYLSTON
A Charge to Keep I Have
Divine Presence implored
Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: The Gospel Psalmist #448 (1861) Topics: Aspiration and Communion First Line: Speak with us, Lord, Thyself reveal
Divine Presence implored
Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing
Author: Robert Robinson Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #449 (1985) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Faith and Aspiration Lyrics: 1 Come, thou Fount of every blessing,
tune my heart to sing thy grace;
streams of mercy, never ceasing,
call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious measure,
Sung by flaming tongues above;
O the vast, the boundless treasure
of my Lord's unchanging love.
2 Here I raise my Ebenezer;
hither by thy help I'm come;
and I hope, by thy good pleasure,
safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
wand'ring from the fold of God;
he to rescue me from danger
interposed his precious blood.
3 O to grace how great a debtor
daily I'm constrained to be!
Let that grace, Lord, like a fetter,
bind my wand'ring heart to thee.
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
prone to leave the God I love;
take my heart, O take and seal it,
seal it for thy courts above.
Scripture: 1 Samuel 7:12 Languages: English Tune Title: NETTLETON
Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing
Not for our sins alone
Author: Canon H. Twells, 1823-1900 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #449 (1917) Topics: The Christian Life Aspiration and Prayer Lyrics: 1 Not for our sins alone
Thy mercy, Lord, we sue;
Let fall Thy pitying glance
On our devotions too,
What we have done for Thee,
And what we think to do.
2 The holiest hours we spend
In prayer upon our knees,
The times when most we deem
Our songs of praise will please,
Thou Searcher of all hearts,
Forgiveness pour on these.
3 And all the gifts we bring,
And all the vows we make,
And all the acts of love
We plan for Thy dear sake,
Into Thy pardoning thought,
O God of mercy, take.
4 And most, when we, Thy flock,
Before Thine altar bend,
And strange bewildering thoughts
With those sweet moments blend,
By Him whose death we plead,
Good Lord, Thy help extend.
5 Bow down Thine ear and hear!
Open Thine eyes and see!
Our very love is shame,
And we must come to Thee
To make it of Thy grace
What Thou would'st have it be. Languages: English Tune Title: BACA
Not for our sins alone

And Can It Be That I Should Gain
Author: Charles (or John) Wesley Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #450 (1985) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Topics: Faith and Aspiration Lyrics: 1 And can it be that I should gain
an int'rest in the Savior's blood?
Died he for me, who caused his pain–
for me, who him to death pursued?
Amazing love! How can it be
that thou, my Lord, shouldst die for me?
2 'Tis mystery all, th'Immortal dies:
who can explore this strange design?
In vain the first-born seraph tries
to sound the depths of love divine.
'Tis mercy all! Let earth adore,
let angel minds inquire no more.
3 He left his Father's throne above
(so free, so infinite his grace!),
emptied himself of all but love,
and bled for Adam's helpless race.
'Tis mercy all! immense and free!
for, O my God, it found out me!
4 Long my imprisoned spirit lay
fast bound in sin and nature's night;
thine eye diffused a quick'ning ray;
I woke, the dungeon filled with light!
My chains fell off; my heart was free;
I rose, went forth, and followed thee.
5 No condemnation now I dread;
Jesus, and all in him, is mine!
Alive in him, my living Head,
and clothed in righteousness divine,
bold I approach th'eternal throne,
and claim the crown, through Christ, my own.
Scripture: Acts 16:16 Languages: English Tune Title: JENA (DAS NEUGEBORNE KINDELEIN)
And Can It Be That I Should Gain
Summer suns are glowing
Author: Bp. W. Walsham How, 1823-1897 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #450 (1917) Topics: The Christian Life Aspiration and Prayer Lyrics: 1 Summer suns are glowing
Over land and sea;
Happy light is flowing,
Bountiful and free.
Everything rejoices
In the mellow rays;
All earth's thousand voices
Swell the psalm of praise.
2 God's free mercy streameth
Over all the world,
And His banner gleameth,
Everywhere unfurled.
Broad and deep and glorious
As the heaven above,
Shines in might victorious
His eternal love.
3 Lord, upon our blindness
Thy pure radiance pour;
For Thy loving kindness
Make us love Thee more.
And when clouds are drifting
Dark across our sky,
Then, the veil uplifting,
Father, be Thou nigh.
4 We will never doubt Thee,
Though Thou veil Thy light:
Life is dark without Thee;
Death with Thee is bright.
Light of light, shine o'er us
On our pilgrim way;
Go Thou still before us
To the endless day. Languages: English Tune Title: RUTH
