\nAs Jacob with travel was weary one day,
\nAt night on a stone for a pillow he lay;
\nHe saw in a vision a ladder so high
\nThat its foot was on earth and its top in the sky.<\/p>\n
Refrain
\nAlleluia to Jesus who died on the tree,
\nAnd has raised up a ladder of mercy for me,
\nAnd has raised up a ladder of mercy for me.<\/p>\n
2
\nCome let us ascend! All may climb it who will;
\nFor the angels of Jacob are guarding it still:
\nAnd remember each step that by faith we passo’er,
\nSome prophet or martyr has trod it before.<\/p>\n
3
\nAnd when we arrive at the haven of rest
\nWe shall hear the glad words, “Come up hither, ye blest,
\nHere are regions of light, here are mansions of bliss.”
