Hymn 628
As Jacob With Travel Was Weary
Verse 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.
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.
Chorus
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.
And has raised up a ladder of mercy for me,
And has raised up a ladder of mercy for me.
Verse 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.
And remember each step that by faith we pass o’er,
Some prophet or martyr has trod it before.
Chorus
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.
And has raised up a ladder of mercy for me,
And has raised up a ladder of mercy for me.
