[Refrain] 3 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, many prophets and martyrs have trod it before. [Refrain] 4 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." Oh, who would not climb such a ladder as this?
