Sisters, don’t grow weary;
brothers, don’t grow weary;
children, don’t grow weary,
for the time is drawing nigh.

it’s our faith makes us happy,
for the time is drawing nigh. [Refrain]

we are climbing Jacob’s ladder;
we are climbing Jacob’s ladder,
for the time is drawing nigh. [Refrain]

every round goes higher, higher,
for the time is drawing nigh. [Refrain]

Text Information:

This African American spiritual has a biblical basis in the parable of the ten maidens (Matthew 25:1–13), but the text actually sung could vary greatly. Such variation can be seen here in the annexing of an often freestanding spiritual based on Jacob’s vision (Genesis 28:10–17).
