There’s a life on the heights, O Chris­tian,
Up, up from thy low estate!
Cut loose from the sins that beset thee,
And lay aside every weight.

Refrain

Stay not in the mist laden valley;
Look not on the earth, but above;
Rise, rise in the strength of thy Sav­ior,
And climb to the hilltops of love.

There’s a glow on the heights, O Chris­tian!
Why longer in shadow abide?
The storm clouds of care and of sorrow
Are bright on the heavenward side.

Refrain

There’s a song on the heights, O Chris­tian!
A thrilling and jubilant strain;
It tells of a perfect sal­va­tion
Thro’ Je­sus, the Lamb that was slain.

Refrain

There’s a view from the heights, O Chris­tian!
The gleam of a far away shore;
And hearts that are faint for the homeland
Gain courage and patience once more.

Refrain
