Father asked Rev. Yang to read the lyrics of a Christian hymn “Higher Ground,” and said “My elder brother loved this song.” Rev. Yang read:

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.

Chorus: Lord, lift me up and let me stand By faith on heaven’s table land 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 Tho’ some may dwell where these abound My prayer, my aim is higher ground.

Chorus: Lord, lift me up and let me stand By faith on heaven’s table land A higher plane than I have found Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.

I want to live above the world Tho’ Satan’s darts at me are hurled For faith has caught the joyful sound The song of saints on higher ground.

Chorus: Lord, lift me up and let me stand By faith on heaven’s table land A higher plane than I have found Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.

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.

Chorus: Lord, lift me up and let me stand By faith on heaven’s table land A higher plane than I have found Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.
