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.
Stay not in the mist-laden valley;
Look not on the earth, but above;
Rise, rise in the strength of thy Saviour,
And climb to the hill-tops of love.
There's a glow on the heights, O Christian!
Why longer in shadow ahide?
The storm-clouds of care and of sorrow
Are bright on the heavenward side.
Stay not in the mist-laden valley;
Look not on the earth, but above;
Rise, rise in the strength of thy Saviour,
And climb to the hill-tops of love.
There's a song on the heights, O Christian!
A thrilling and jubilant strain;
It tells of a perfect salvation
Through Jesus the Lamb that was slain.
Stay not in the mist-laden valley;
Look not on the earth, but above;
Rise, rise in the strength of thy Saviour,
And climb to the hill-tops of love.
There's a view from the heights, O Christian!
The gleam of a far-away shore;
And hearts that are faint for the home-land
Gain courage and patience once more.
Stay not in the mist-laden valley;
Look not on the earth, but above;
Rise, rise in the strength of thy Saviour,
And climb to the hill-tops of love.
