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.

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.”

But still I’ll pray till rest I’ve found,
“Lord, lead me on to higher ground.”

Now Ye are the Body of Christ and members in particular.

Amazing hymn
Fort Worth, Texas, United States
I love the old hymns, I believe they come back to me at times because we remember Spiritual things, they stay inside of us and our spirits recall them when we need them or feel His peace. I sang this one in the Baptist church a long time ago and it just came to my mind tonight.
Love all you saints from Nigeria and Africa and all over the world, we are one in Jesus.

I am always inspired by this soul lifting hymn, whenever I am down, I raise this hymn and get my spiritual strength restored and boosted, may the souls of Charles Hutchison and Johnson Oatmancontinue to rest on at the Bossom of Christ, till we meet on the resurrection morning.

God bless Charles Hutchinson (1856-1932) and Johnson Oatman Jr. (1856-1926) and Co that put their efforts to compile this Soul-lifting, restoration and revival hymn.
Each time I raised this hymn my soul is lifted, revived and blessed. The inspiration came directly from the throne room of the father.
