I’m pressing on the upward way,
New heights I’m gaining every day;
Still praying as I onward bound,
“Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.”
New heights I’m gaining every day;
Still praying as I onward bound,
“Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.”
Lord, lift me up, and let me stand
By faith on Canaan’s tableland;
A higher plane than I have found,
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.
By faith on Canaan’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.
Where doubts arise and fears dismay;
Though some may dwell where these abound,
My prayer, my aim, is higher ground.

I want to live above the world,
Though Satan’s darts at me are hurled;
For faith has caught the joyful sound,
The song of saints on higher ground.
Though Satan’s darts at me are hurled;
For faith has caught the joyful sound,
The song of saints on higher ground.

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

The Holy Spirit woke me up at my fasting prayer time @ 00:02 am Thursday 2019 to pray with this song on my lips. God is still on the throne. As He used this song writers and composers, may He remember me in 2019 and beyond for an intimate relationship. Thank you for making it available. God bless you In Jesus Christ mighty name.

May God bless the soul of Johnson Oatman Jnr. and Charles Hutchinson Gabriel for heeding the call to deliver this message to God's people.
Power-laden and inspirational. I'm so blessed.
Closed my early morning worship with the song.
Halleluyah forever!

My soul was flooded with this hymn as I woke up this morning and I was so enthralled and enraptured with the divine presence. I love You LORD and I await Your glorious return, when I will see You face to face and worship You endlessly. Until then I will keep pressing on, trusting and believing wholly in You the Author my Salvation.

This is wonderful hymn which requires practical experience of Christ. We need to experience Christ anew everyday, that is, new growth in Christ is expected everyday. For example, you are used to praying once per day, but, after pressing on upward you can now pray twice and even read the Bible.
