歌譜 (Sheet Music of Hymn)

1. 我今前往高處而行，靈性地位日日高昇；
    當我前行禱告不停，求主領我向高處行。

副歌：

求主助我，使我堅定，憑信站在天上樂境；

我心嚮往更高之地，求主領我向高處行。

2. 世上充滿疑慮恐怖，非我所願長居之處；
    別人或願世間久住，但我祈求更高之處。

3. 雖然魔鬼暗箭猛攻，世俗生活，何足輕重！
    憑信得聞快樂聲洪，天上聖徒所發讚頌。

4. 我必上升穹蒼極境，進入天堂榮華美景，
    如今我靈祈禱不停，求主同行直到天庭。

Hymn: Higher Ground
Author: Johnson Oatman, Jr. (1856-1922)

1. I’m pressing on the upward way,
    New heights I’m gaining ev‵ry day;
    Still praying as I’m onward bound,
    “Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.”

Refrain:

Lord, lift me up, and let me stand

By faith, on heaven’s tableland;

A higher plane than I have found,

Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.

2. My heart has no desire to stay
    Where doubts arise and fears dismay;
    Though some may dwell where these abound,
    My prayer, my aim, is higher ground.

3. I want to live above the world,
    Though Satan’s darts at me are hurled;
    For faith has caught a joyful sound,
    The song of saints on higher ground.

4. 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 to higher ground.”
