1
I'm pressing on the upward way, New heights I'm gaining everyday; Still praying as I onward bound, 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 pray'r my aim is higher ground.
3
I want to live above the world, Though Satan's darts at me are hurled But still I'll pray till heav'n I've found: "Lord, lead me on to higher ground."
4
I want to scale the utmost height, And catch a gleam of glory bright; For faith has caught the joyful sound, The song of saints on higher ground.
후렴
Lord, lift me up, and let me stand By faith on heaven's table land; A higher plane than I have found, Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.
