THE OPENING HYMN I’m Pressing On The Upward Way #347 I’m pressing on the upward way, New heights I’m gaining every day; Still praying as I onward bound, “Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.” Refrain. Refrain Lord, lift me up, and let me stand By faith on Canaan’s tableland; A higher plane than I have found, Lord, plant my feet on higher ground. My heart has no desire to stay Where doubts arise and fears dismay; Though some may dwell where these abound, My prayer, my aim, is higher ground. Refrain. I want to live above the world, Though Satan’s darts at me are hurled; For faith has caught the joyful sound, The song of saints on higher ground. Refrain. I want to scale the utmost height And catch a gleam of glory bright; But still I’ll pray till heaven I’ve found, “Lord, lead me on to higher ground.” Refrain. THE PRAYER OF INVOCATION THE CHORAL RESPONSE There is a sweet anointing in the sanctuary, there is a stillness in the atmosphere, o come lay down the burdens you have carried, for in the sanctuary; God is here, Oh come lay down the burdens you have carried, for in the sanctuary; God is here.
