Jacob's Ladder Lyrics - The Stanley Brothers

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 awaiting for you 

As Jacob was travellin was weary one day 

His head 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 

This ladder was tall and yet so well made 

Stood thousands of years and never decayed 

High winds from the heaven's they reeled and they rocked 

But the angels they guarded from bottom to top
