English Lyrics
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.
Chorus
Alleluia to Jesus who dies on the tree And has raised up a ladder of mercy for me, And has raised up a ladder of mercy for me.
Verse 2
Come let us ascent! 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.
Verse 3
And when we arrive at the haven of rest We shall hear the glad words, 'Come up wither, ye blest, Here are regions of light, here are mansions of bliss.' O who would not climb such a ladder as this?
