Hallelujah to Jesus who died on the tree

   To raise up his ladder of mercy for me

   Press onward climb upward the top is in view

   There's a crown of bright glory awaiting for you



As Jacob was travellin was weary one day

His head on a stone for a pillow did lay

A vision appeared of a ladder so high

It stood on the earth while the top reached the sky



This ladder was tall and yet so well made

Stood thousands of years and never decayed

High winds from the heaven's they reeled and they rocked

But the angels they guarded from bottom to top
