192. Jacob's Ladder

1 We are climbing Jacob’s ladder,
We are climbing Jacob’s ladder,
We are climbing Jacob’s ladder,
Pilgrims of the cross.

2 Every round goes higher, higher,
Every round goes higher, higher,
Every round goes higher, higher,
Pilgrims of the cross.

3 Sinner, do you love your Jesus?
Sinner, do you love your Jesus?
Sinner, do you love your Jesus?
Pilgrims of the cross.

4 If you love him, why not serve him?
If you love him, why not serve him?
If you love him, why not serve him?
Pilgrims of the cross.
