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.”

After our morning prayer with my family, this inspiring hymn came to my spirit man. I went on to google it and found this your master piece with the piano backing the lyrics.
Thanks so much and may God abundantly bless you.

Thank you. Was feeling the need to sing this old song I remembered from my childhood. I searched for the words and was led here and was able to sing it with the piano. Thank you.
This hymn always reminds me that there's more to grasp; stretch a bit more. Brings to mind Paul's words of ' am pressing on' not yet attained.
Great song!!!

This song always remind me of my true self. I am eternally grateful to the composer of this great song. It's a great way to be aware that I am not an ordinary person that may reside where fear and doubts abound. I desire to be planted on the higher grounds.

I am blessed with this song, through out the last night I was hearing the sound and the tune of the song: so I decided to Sing it as our Sunday congregational hymns and everybody was blessed in the church.
