HYMN 341

1.  I‘m pressing on the upward way 

     New heights l‘m gaining ev'ry day 

     Still praying as l onward bound 

     Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.

Chorus:  Lord, lift me up and let me stand

               By faith on heaven's table land

               Where love, and joy, and light abound

               Lord plant my feet on higher ground.


2.  My heart has no desire to stay

     Where doubts arise, and fears dismay 

     Though some may dwell where these abound 

     My constant aim is higher ground.

Chorus:  Lord, lift me up...


3.  Beyond the mist I fain would rise

     To rest beneath unclouded skies 

     Above earth's turmoil peace is found 

     By those who dwell on higher ground.

Chorus:  Lord, lift me up...


4.  I long to scale the utmost height

     Tho rough the way, and hard the light
  
     My song while climbing, shall resound

     Lord, Iead me on to higher ground.

Chorus:  Lord, lift me up...


5.  Lord, lead me up the mountain side

     l dare not climb without my Guide

     And heaven gained, l'll gaze around 

     With grateful heart from higher ground.

Chorus:  Lord, lift me up and let me stand

               By faith on heaven's table land

               Where love, and joy, and light abound

               Lord plant my feet on higher ground.  Amen
