My heart has no desire to

Stay where doubts arise

And fears dismay.

Though we must dwell

Where these are bound

I must go on to higher ground.



I want to scale the

Utmost hight and catch

A gleam of glory bright.

For faith has caught

The joyful sound,

The song of life on higher ground.



Lord, lift me up

And let me stand my feet

On heaven's stable land.

Oh, greater plane

That i have found.

Oh, plant my feet on higher ground.



I'm treading on the

Upward way, new hights

I'm gaining every day,

Still praying as i'm homeward bound:

Oh, plant my feet on higher ground.
