¶Lyrics / Text

Weary, halting by the wayside, When the sun sank in the west, With the rough stones for his pillow, Israel laid him down to rest; And in dreams he saw a ladder Rise to heaven from earth below, Where, ascending and descending, Passed the angels, to and fro. Did the vision not foreshadow That divine and only Way Whereby earth’s benighted pilgrims Reach the realms of endless day? Where almighty grace and mercy Meet repentance from below, Still ascending and descending, Like the angels, to and fro.
