w:1.~I'm press-ing on the up-ward way, New heights I'm gain-ing ev-'ry day;
w:2.~My heart has no de-sire to stay Where doubts a-rise and fears dis-may;
w:3.~I want to live a-bove the world, Tho' Sa-tan's darts at me are hurled;
w:4.~I want to scale the ut-most height And catch a gleam of glo-ry bright;

w:Still pray-ing as I'm on-ward bound, "Lord, plant my feet on high-er ground."
w:Tho' some may dwell where those a-bound, My prayer, my aim, is high-er ground.
w:For faith has caught the joy-ful sound, The song of saints on high-er ground.
w:But still I'll pray till Heav'n I've found, "Lord, plant my feet on high-er ground."
