628 ~ As Jacob With Travel Was Weary


1

A Jacob with travel was weary one day, At night on a stone for a pillow he lay; He saw in a vision a ladder so high That its foot was on earth and its top in the sky.


Refrain

Alleluia to Jesus who died on the tree, And has raised up a ladder of mercy for me, And has raised up a ladder of mercy for me.

2

For the angels of Jacob are guarding it still: And remember each step that by faith we pass o'er, Some prophet or martyr has trod it before.
