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 awaitin' for you As Jacob was travelin' was weary one day One night 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 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 awaitin' for you This ladder was tall and yet so well made Stood thousands of years and never decayed High winds from the heavens they reel and they rock But the angels they guard it from bottom to top
