New heights I'm gaining every day;
Still praying as I onward bound,
"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.

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.

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."

This is one of many other spiritual songs that can take you straight into the presence of God and away from this world and its troubles.
God bless the composer real good.

A lifting up song. I love it.

There is no doubt that the composer of the song sought and obtained the anointing of God. The anointing of God is on this wonderful song - the various testimonies are evidences! All Christians, especially ministers of God, must always seek the face of God through prayers, fasting and meditation before any presentation or ministration. When we do this, our ministrations shall cause dry bones to rise again, sinners shall be convicted and saved, backsliders restored, the oppressed delivered, the sick healed, our land (and Church) revived and righteousness shall reign. So shall it be, in Jesus' name. (Amen)

This hymn has encouraged me so much, especially when I want to minister the word of God to people. Some times the devil wants to instil fear in me, this song will lift me to a state of fearlessness. Thank God for the composer.

In spite of all I may be passing through, this song always gives me a lot of courage to move on in my pilgrim's journey. It's so inspiring. My prayer is that God will indeed plant my feet on higher ground in this planet earth, then in heaven not only to catch the gleam of glory but to also dwell in there for ever and ever with my Lord Jesus. Amen

As l listen to this beautiful piece of music, it brings me back to the days when I used to worship in the little country church in the island of Jamaica. Oh this wonderful hymn was a blessing then and is still blessing me. Thank God for the writer who was inspired by the Holy Spirit to bless so many thousands of people over the years.

What does "by faith on Canaan's tableland" mean?

I dedicated the hymn to God Almighty and to my first new born baby girl.
