Jacob's Ladder(English Carol)

As 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.

The ladder is long it is strog and well made,
Has stodd hundred of years and is not yet decayed;
Many millions have climbed it and reached Sion's Hill,
And thousands by faith are climbing it still.

Come let us ascend all may climb it who will;
For the Angels of Jacob are guarding it still;
And remember each step that by faith we pass o'er,
Some prophet or martyr hath trod it before.

And when we arrive at the haven of rest,
We shall hear the glad words, "Come up hither, ye blest,
Here are regions of light, Here are mansions of bliss." O,
who would not climb such a ladder as this?

Chorus
Hallelujah to Jesus, who died on the tree,
and hath rais'd up a ladder of mercy for me.
And hath rais'd up a ladder of mercy for me.

1st Verse
I knew by the smoke that so gracefully curl'd
Above the green elms, that a cottage was near. And I
said, "If there's peace to be found in the world,
A heart that was humble might hope for it here.
A heart that was humble might hope for it here.

Chorus
Ev-'ry leaf was at rest, and I heard not a sound
But the woodpecker tapping the hollow beech tree.
Ev-'ry leaf was at rest, and I heard not a sound.
Ev-'ry leaf was at rest, and I heard not a sound.
But the woodpecker tapping the hollow beech tree.
The woodpecker tapping the hollow beech tree.

2nd verse
"And here in this lone little wood," I exclaimed.
"With a maid who was lovely to soul and to eye,
Who blush when I prais'd her, and weep if I blam'd.
How blest could I live, and how calm could I die.
How blest could I live, and how calm could I die."

Chorus
