Lead Me Higher

lyricist: James Pearson, 1884
Composer: Charles Weigle, 1907

Jesus

lead me up the mount­ain

Where the whit­est robes are seen

Where the saints can see the fount­ain

Where the pure are keep­ing clean.

Lead me high­er up the mount­ain

Give me fel­low­ship with Thee;

In Thy light I see the fount­ain

And the blood is cleans­ing me.

Higher up

where light in­creas­es

Rich above all earth­ly good

Where the life of sin­ning ceases

Where the Spir­it comes in floods—

Lead me high­er

no­thing dread­ing

In the race to nev­er stop

In Thy foot­steps keep me tread­ing

Give me grace to reach the top.

Save me bet­ter

make me sur­er

Put me where the fire re­fines

Where the breath of hope is pur­er

Where the bright­est glo­ry shines.
