To the source of life,
Where the living fountain floweth,
Far from sin and strife.
Chorus:
Higher, higher, lift me higher,
In the light above:
From the depths of sin and sorrow
To the heights of love.
2 Lift me higher, that triumphant
I may sing and soar;
In the calm of blest assurance,
Keep me evermore. [Chorus]
3 Lift me higher, for I languish
Far from home and thee;
Draw me with the cords of mercy,
Nearer, nearer thee. [Chorus]

To the mount of God.
Lead me up the shining pathway
That thy feet have trod. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [Lift me higher, blessed Savior]
