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.”

It is one of those great hymns that reaches deep within and demands a higher level of commitment to the Lordship of Christ in our daily walk in this filthy world. It shakes the inner man to a level of discontent and inspires us to move forward in an upward path of growth in the Lord.

It's inspirational... God indeed is mighty and moves on men to do great works. God bless the composer with more knowledge and insights to do more to the Glory of God.

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!
