G                          C
I’m pressing on the upward way,

G D
New heights I’m gaining every day;

D7 G C
Still praying as I’m onward bound,

G D7 G
“Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.”

G D7
Lord, lift me up, and I shall stand

G
By faith, on heaven’s table-land;

G C
A higher plane than I have found;

G D7 G
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.

[[Full Lyrics]] [Verse 1] I’m pressing on the upward way, New heights I’m gaining every day; Still praying as I’m onward bound, “Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.” [Refrain] Lord, lift me up, and I shall stand By faith, on heaven’s tableland; A higher plane than I have found; Lord, plant my feet on higher ground. [Verse 2] My heart has no desire to stay Where doubts arise and fears dismay; Though some may dwell where those abound, My prayer, my aim, is higher ground. [Verse 3] 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. [Verse 4] I want to scale the utmost height And catch a gleam of glory bright; But still I’ll pray till heaven I’ve found, “Lord, lead me on to higher ground.”
