The Child Jesus

I’m pressing on the upward way

New height I’m gaining every day

Still praying as I 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

A higher plane that I have found

Lord plant my feet on nigher ground

My heart has no desire to stay

Where doubts arise and fears dismay

Tho’ some may dwell where these abound

My pray’r my aim is higher ground

I want to live above the world

Tho’ satan’s darts at me are hurl’d

For faith has caught the joyful sound

The song of saints on higher ground

I want to scale the utmost height

And catch a gleam of glory bright

But still I’ll pray till heav’n I’ve found

Lord, lead me on higher ground

Lord lift me to the upward way

I cannot get there without Thee

Lord lead me to the heav’nly home

And sing my song from higher ground

Amen
