I’m pressing on the upward way
New heights I’m gaining ev'ry day
Still praying as I’m onward bound
“Lord, plant my feet on higher ground”

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

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

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

I want to scale the utmost height
And catch a gleam of glory bright
But still I’ll pray 'til rest I’ve found
“Lord, lead me on to higher ground”

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
