As Jacob With Travel Was Weary One Day,
At Night On A Stone For A Pillow He Lay;
He Saw In A Vision A Ladder So High
That Its Foot Was On Earth And Its Top In The Sky:
Alleluia To Jesus Who Died On The Tree,
And Has Raised Up A Ladder Of Mercy For Me,
And Has Raised Up A Ladder Of Mercy For Me.
This Ladder Long, It Is Strong And Well-Made,
Has Stood Hundreds Of Years And Is Not Yet Decayed;
Many Millions Have Climbed It And Reached Zion’s Hill,
And Thousands By Faith Are Climbing It Still:
Come Let Us Ascend! All May Climb It Who Will;
For The Angels Of Jacob Are Guarding It Still:
And Remember, Each Step That By Faith We Pass Over,
Some Prophet Or Martyr Has Trod It Before:
And When We Arrive At The Haven Of Rest
We Shall Hear The Glad Words ‘Come Up Hither, Ye Blest,
‘Here Are Regions Of Light, Here Are Mansions Of Bliss’.
O Who Would Not Climb Such A Ladder As This?
