Lord, lift me up and let me stand
By faith on heaven’s tableland;
A higher plane than I have found–

Where doubts arise and fears dismay;
Tho' some may dwell where these abound,
My prayer, my aim, is higher ground. [Refrain]

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

And catch a gleam of glory bright;
But still I’ll pray till heav’n I’ve found,
“Lord, lead me on to higher ground.” [Refrain]
