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.
