[Chorus]
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 bright glory a-waiting for you

[Verse 1]
As Jacob was travelin', was weary one day
White knight 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

[Chorus]
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 bright glory a-waiting for you

[Verse 2]
This ladder is tall and yet so wеll made
Stood thousands of years and nevеr decayed
High winds from the heavens, they reel and they rock
But the angels, they guarded from bottom to top

[Chorus]
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 bright glory a-waiting for you
