Take Higher Ground

Seek the bless­ings of a heart made pure

In whose depth no ev­il shall be found;

With a faith and hope that doth en­dure

In the Christ­ian life take high­er ground.

Take high­er ground

take high­er ground

Richly doth the grace of God ab­ound.

With His mer­cy free en­fold­ing thee

In the Christian life take high­er ground.

Seek to lay aside each sin­ful weight

And in bless­èd li­ber­ty arise;

All to Jesus ful­ly con­se­crate

And then claim the gift that near thee lies.

Take the high­er ground where joys ab­ide

Which the world can ne­ver take away;

In the Sav­ior’s pow­er and love con­fide

And sur­rend­er all to Him for aye.
