Higher Ground Words by Johnson Oatman, Jr. Music by Charles H. Gabriel Words and Music public domain 532
I’m pressing on the upward wayNew heights I’m gaining ev’ry day
Still praying as I onward boundLord, plant my feet on higher ground
Lord, lift me up and let me standBy faith, on heaven’s tablelandA higher plane than I have foundLord, plant my feet on higher ground
My heart has no desire to stayWhere doubts arise and fears dismay
Though some may dwellwhere these aboundMy prayer, my aim is higher ground
Lord, lift me up and let me standBy faith, on heaven’s tablelandA higher plane than I have foundLord, plant my feet on higher ground
I want to live above the worldThough Satan’s dartsat me are hurled
For faith has caught the joyful soundThe song of saints on higher ground
Lord, lift me up and let me standBy faith, on heaven’s tablelandA higher plane than I have foundLord, plant my feet on higher ground
I want to scale the utmost heightAnd catch a gleam of glory bright
But still I’ll pray till heav’n I’ve foundLord, lead me on to higher ground
Lord, lift me up and let me standBy faith, on heaven’s tablelandA higher plane than I have foundLord, plant my feet on higher ground
