Author: E. E. Hewitt Hymnal: The Excelsior Hymnal #58 (1919) First Line: The call “come up higher,” is ringing out still Refrain First Line: Upward, still upward, all of life’s way Lyrics: 1 The call “come up higher,” is ringing out still;
Each stepping is planned by our Father’s good will;
If only we follow the word of our King,
To yonder bright Homeland, His children He’ll bring.
Refrain:
Upward, still upward, all of life’s way;
Upward, still upward, day after day;
Each trial surmounted shall help us to rise,
To enter, rejoicing, our home in the skies.
2 The way may be toilsome, but safety is there;
We’ve left the dark valley of sin and despair;
Now, upward with Jesus, our course He will guide,
And all that is needful, His grace will provide. [Refrain]
3 O, fear not the journey, ‘tis guided in love;
Sometimes there are shadows, light dwelleth above;
Our King has ascended to glory on high,
And there, in His likeness, we’ll see, eye to eye. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [The call "come up higher," is ringing out still]
