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.”

Such a powerful song. It draws me closer to God any time I listen.

This song takes me so close to heaven every time I concentrate on the Wordings! It is AWESOME!
But I think the chorus line 2 is 'By Faith on heaven's Stable land or Canaan's Stable land and not 'Table land' at all!

The anointing of the composition is what moves this song. God's glory comes down when the song is raised. It is a song of hope for me. God bless the generation of the composer and the saints all over the world.

This song is a masterpiece ever fresh to inspire, revive, renew my commitment to the Lord Jesus Christ and strengthen me in my walk with God. It gives me hope of eternal rest, reward on the last day when the race is over. Praise God. Amen.

This is one of many other spiritual songs that can take you straight into the presence of God and away from this world and its troubles.
God bless the composer real good.

There is no doubt that the composer of the song sought and obtained the anointing of God. The anointing of God is on this wonderful song - the various testimonies are evidences! All Christians, especially ministers of God, must always seek the face of God through prayers, fasting and meditation before any presentation or ministration. When we do this, our ministrations shall cause dry bones to rise again, sinners shall be convicted and saved, backsliders restored, the oppressed delivered, the sick healed, our land (and Church) revived and righteousness shall reign. So shall it be, in Jesus' name. (Amen)
