1
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.
2
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 o'er,
Some prophet or martyr has trod it before.
3
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?
C
Chorus
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.
