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.
[Chorus]
Hallelujah to Jesus, who died on the Tree
And hath rais'd up a ladder of mercy for me,
And hath rais'd up a ladder of mercy for me.
2. This ladder is long, it is strong and well-made,
Has stood hundreds of years and is not yet decayed;
Many millions have climbed it and reached Sion's hill,
And thousands by faith are climbing it still· [Chorus]
3. Come let us ascend: alt 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 hath trod it before, [Chorus]
4. 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? [Chorus]
