New heights I’m gaining every day;
Still praying as I’m onward bound,
“Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.”

A higher plane than I have found;

Where doubts arise and fears dismay;
Though some may dwell where those abound,

Though Satan’s darts at me are hurled;
For faith has caught the joyful sound,
The song of saints on higher ground.

And catch a gleam of glory bright;
But still I’ll pray till Heav’n I’ve found,
“Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.”
