1. Often I've watched the cloud up in the sky,
Always I've heard they were many miles high;
Then as they sailed out of sight far away,
I said, "I'm going far higher some-day"
Chorus:
I'm going higher, yes, higher someday,
I'm going higher to stay;
Over the clouds and beyond the blue sky,
Going where none ever sicken or die,
Loved ones to meet in the "Sweet by and by";
I'm going higher someday.
2. Men sail the ocean, or soar through the air,
Scarce can the natural eye see them up there;
Some seek for fame which so soon will decay,
I'm going higher, yes higher some-day.
3. Moses went up in a mountain and prayed,
Glory came down while alone there he stayed;
But He came back, He just went there to pray,
I'm going higher, yes higher some-day.
4. Often my soul has been lifted above,
Lost in the ocean of God's mighty love;
Though I am higher than once, still I say,
"I'm going higher, yes, higher some-day."
5. Soon will the Saviour appear, bless His name!
Some-day this earth will be all wrapped in flame;
Then as I see the fire mounting so high,
I'm going higher, be-yond the blue sky.
