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?
