Hymns by the Western Stars ‎#9

9. We Are Climbing

1 We are climbing Jacob's golden ladder
From earth to heaven so high,
This one tho't now makes my heart still gladder
To know that we are climbing Jacob's ladder to the sky.

Refrain:
We are climbing still higher up Jacob's bright ladder,
Where we shall never die;
I'm so happy as I journey onward
To know that we are climbing Jacob's ladder to the sky.

2 Storms may gather, yet we keep on going
From earth to heaven so high,
Shining rainbows keep the love-light glowing
To know that we are climbing Jacob's ladder to the sky. [Refrain]

3 Ev'ry moment we are drawing nearer
From earth to heaven so high,
O what gladness, makes the Savior dearer
To know that we are climbing Jacob's ladder to the sky. [Refrain]
