Chorus

Alleluia to Jesus who died on the tree, and has raised up a ladder of mercy for me!

Verse 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:

Verse 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; by faith many millions are climbing it still:

Verse 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?
