Sheet music

  1. 1I’m seeking the country where Jesus has gone;I’m facing the beauty of heaven’s bright dawn;I’m climbing the mountains, the mountains of faith,And now I can see o’er the river of death.I’m climbing,(I’m climbing the mountains,) climbing,(I’m climbing the mountains,)I’m climbing the mountains of faith;(I’m climbing the mountains, the mountains of faith;)Still higher I climb, to regions sublime,On the peaks of the mountains of faith.(the mountains of faith.)
  2. 2I’ve climbed to the summit of holy desire,But onward and upward my soul doth aspire;I see in the sunlight some higher peaks’ glow,And strong in my Savior, still upward I go.I’m climbing,(I’m climbing the mountains,) climbing,(I’m climbing the mountains,)I’m climbing the mountains of faith;(I’m climbing the mountains, the mountains of faith;)Still higher I climb, to regions sublime,On the peaks of the mountains of faith.(the mountains of faith.)
  3. 3I’ve left all the fogs of the valley behind,And here the bright sunlight forever I find;The clouds are beneath me, above is my home,And Christ, my dear Savior, invites me to come.I’m climbing,(I’m climbing the mountains,) climbing,(I’m climbing the mountains,)I’m climbing the mountains of faith;(I’m climbing the mountains, the mountains of faith;)Still higher I climb, to regions sublime,On the peaks of the mountains of faith.(the mountains of faith.)
  4. 4I see the fair city where Jesus awaits,I see the bright walls with their wide open’d gates;I’m climbing the mountains, but soon I’ll arise,And leave the last peak for my home in the skies.I’m climbing,(I’m climbing the mountains,) climbing,(I’m climbing the mountains,)I’m climbing the mountains of faith;(I’m climbing the mountains, the mountains of faith;)Still higher I climb, to regions sublime,On the peaks of the mountains of faith.(the mountains of faith.)
