As Jacob With Travel Lyrics

1. As Jacob with travel was weary one day,
At night on a stone for a pillow he lay,
He was 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 Zion's hill,
And thousands by faith are climbing it still. [Chorus]

3. 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 hath trod it before. [Chorus]

4. And when we arrive at the haven of rest
We shall hear the great 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? [Chorus]
