¶Liedtext

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: (Refrain:) Alleluia to Jesus who died on the tree, and has raised up a ladder of mercy for me. 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: (Refrain) Come let us ascend! 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: (Refrain) 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? (Refrain)
