Original lyrics
ENHallelujah to Jesus who died on the tree
To raise up this ladder of mercy for me
Press onward, climb upward, the top is in view
There's a crown of right glory awaiting for you.
As Jacob was traveling was weary one day
At night on a stone for a pillow did lay
A vision of fear for a ladder so high
It stood on the ground but the top reached the sky.
Hallelujah to Jesus who died on the tree
To raise up this ladder of mercy for me
Press onward, climb upward, the top is in view
There's a crown of right glory awaiting for you.
This ladder was tall but yet so well made
Stood thousands of years and never decayed
It went from the heavens it reeled and it rocked
But the angels they guard it from the bottom to top.
Hallelujah to Jesus who died on the tree
To raise up this ladder of mercy for me
Press onward, climb upward, the top is in view
There's a crown of right glory awaiting for you...
