New heights I’m gaining ev'ryday;

Lord, lift me up, and I shall stand
By faith, on heaven’s tableland;
A higher plane than I have found,
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.

Where doubts arise and fears dismay;
Tho' some may dwell where these abound,
My pray'r, my aim is higher ground. [Refrain]
3 I want to live above the world,
Tho' Satan’s darts at me are hurled;
For faith has caught a joyful sound,
The song of saints on higher ground. [Refrain]

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] Used With Tune: HIGHER GROUND

A Mighty Fortress Is Our God
Author: Frederick H. Hedge; Martin Luther Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Appears in 684 hymnals Topics: Temptation Lyrics: 1 A mighty Fortress is our God,
A Bulwark never failing;
Our Helper He amid the flood
Of mortal ills prevailing.
For still our ancient foe
Doth seek to work us woe;
His craft and power are great;
And, armed with cruel hate,
On earth is not his equal.
2 Did we in our own strength confide,
Our striving would be losing;
Were not the right man on our side,
The man of God's own choosing.
Dost ask who that may be?
Christ Jesus, it is He,
Lord Sabaoth His name,
From age to age the same,
And He must win the battle.
3 And though this world, with devils filled,
Should threaten to undo us,
We will not fear, for God hath willed
His truth to triumph through us.
The prince of darkness grim,
We tremble not for him;
His rage we can endure,
For lo! his doom is sure;
One little word shall fell him.
4 That word above all earthly powers,
No thanks to them, abideth;
The Spirit and the gifts are ours
Through Him who with us sideth;
Let goods and kindred go,
This mortal life also;
The body they may kill:
God's truth abideth still;
His Kingdom is forever.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 46:1-2 Used With Tune: EIN' FESTE BURG
A Mighty Fortress Is Our God
Before the throne of God above
Author: Charitie L. De Chenez (1841-1923) Appears in 61 hymnals Topics: Temptation Lyrics: 1 Before the throne of God above
I have a strong, a perfect plea,
a great High Priest, whose name is Love,
who ever lives and pleads for me.
My name is graven on his hands,
my name is written on his heart:
I know that while in heaven he stands
no tongue can bid me thence depart.
2 When Satan tempts me to despair,
and tells me of the guilt within,
upward I look, and see him there
who made an end of all my sin.
Because the sinless Saviour died,
my sinful soul is counted free;
for God the just is satisfied
to look on him and pardon me.
3 Behold him there! the risen Lamb,
my perfect, spotless righteousness,
the great unchangeable I AM,
the King of glory and of grace!
One with himself, I cannot die;
my soul is purchased by his blood;
my life is hid with Christ on high,
with Christ my Saviour and my God. Scripture: 1 Peter 1:18-19 Used With Tune: BEFORE THE THRONE OF GOD ABOVE

That calls me from a world of care
And bids me at my Father's throne
Make all my wants and wishes known!
In seasons of distress and grief
My soul has often found relief,
And oft escaped the tempter's snare
By thy return, sweet hour of prayer.
2 Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer,
Thy wings shall my petition bear
To him whose truth and faithfulness
Engage the waiting soul to bless;
And since he bids me seek his face,
Believe his word and trust his grace,
I'll cast on him my ev'ry care,
And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer.
3 Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer,
May I thy consolation share,
Till from Mount Pisgah's lofty height
I view my home and take my flight:
This robe of flesh I'll drop, and rise
To seize the everlasting prize,
And shout, while passing through the air,
"Farewell, farewell, sweet hour of prayer!" Scripture: Luke 11:13 Used With Tune: SWEET HOUR

With joy we meditate the grace
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 422 hymnals Topics: Christ Temptation of; Temptation Lyrics: 1 With joy we meditate the grace
Of our High Priest above;
His heart is made of tenderness,
It melts with pitying love.
2 Touched with a sympathy within,
He knows our feeble frame;
He knows what sore temptations mean,
For He has felt the same.
3 He, in the days of feeble flesh,
Poured out His cries and tears,
And in His measure feels afresh
What every member bears.
4 He'll never quench the smoking flax,
But raise it to a flame;
The bruisèd reed He never breaks,
Nor scorns the meanest name.
5 Then let our humble faith address
His mercy and His power;
We shall obtain delivering grace
In the distressing hour.
Amen. Used With Tune: HALLON
