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.”

Saints we should always press in upward way, new height we should gain everyday. This is the only way we can defeat the evil one. Cast away all doubt our Lord Jesus is able to accomplish all in us. Therefore let cooperate with Him.

This hymn is a blessing to me. Without Faith it is impossible to please God. This song appropriates my faith and propel me to higher heights in Christ. God bless you for sharing. May God continue to bless the work of your hands and multiply you greatly. Psalm 1:3

One of my favorites. Especially when I am sick. It helps to pick me out of my sick bed and strengthen me. It perks me up and I just find the strength to get up and praise.
