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.”

This hymn blesses my soul. It's a prayer worded so well that when I sing it I feel the desire of my heart has been communicated to God, my Father in Heaven. I really feel blessed. Amen.

I can't stop playing this hymn over and over again, the lyrics, the tune and the piano background, it is all very uplifting when I feel down. I appreciate these terms: the upward way, new heights, Canaan's tableland (wow! a higher plane than I have ever found).

It's early in the morning I just found the song after a search. I sang the song last night in a dream for hours though I don't know the lyrics. At dawn, I couldn't sleep longer till I went to my computer. Its an inspiration and a blessing, a song perfectly sang.

This song just reminds me that in this world we don't just sail through, but through pressing on we reach our expectations. Where we fail to stand, He lifts us. What a Saviour we have.

This song is very inspiring, it soothes my heart especially these words "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." My determination is to trust God until He comes or calls me home.
