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.

Refrain

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.

Refrain

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.

Refrain
