Higher Ground

This hymn was next to the last one in the Redemption Hymnal and we sang it at Barn Camp and I really like this one too!

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 let me stand,
By faith, on Heaven’s table land,
Where love and joy and light abound,
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 constant aim is higher ground.

Refrain

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.

Refrain

I long to scale the utmost height
Tho' rough the way, and hard the fight
My song, while climbing, shall resound
Lord, lead me on to higher ground.

Refrain

Lord, lead me up the mountain side
I dare not climb without my Guide
And heaven gained, I'll gaze around
With grateful heart from higher ground.

Cyberhymnal has different words but the same tune:

Is it our constant aim to reach higher ground?
