Classic Hymns From The Shadowlands

Written by Johnson Oatman Jr in 1898 Music Composer Chas H Gabriel 1902 Meter 8888Im pressing on the upward wayNew heights Im gaining every dayStill praying as Im onward boundLord plant my feet on higher groundRefrainLord lift me up and let me standBy faith on Heavens tablelandA higher plane than I have foundLord plant my feet on higher groundMy heart has no desire to stayWhere doubts arise and fears dismayThough some may dwell where those aboundMy prayer my aim is higher groundI want to live above the worldThough Satans darts at me are hurledFor faith has caught the joyful soundThe song of saints on higher groundI want to scale the utmost heightAnd catch a gleam of glory brightBut still Ill pray till heavn Ive foundLord plant my feet on higher ground
