Higher Ground

Author: Johnson Oatman, Jr. Hymnal: Reformed Press Hymnal #245 (1934) 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 ev'ry day; Still praying as I onward bound, "Lord, plant my feet on higher ground." Chorus: 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; Tho' some may dwell where these abound, My prayer, my aim is higher ground. [Chorus] 3 I want to live above the world, Tho' Satan's darts at me are hurl'd; For faith has caught the joyful sound, The song of saints on higher ground. {Chorus] 4 I want to scale the utmost height, And catch a gleam of glory bright; But still I'll pray till heaven I've found, "Lord, lead me on to higher ground." [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [I'm pressing on the upward way]
