Author: John Newton Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12089 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D First Line: If the Lord our leader be Lyrics: 1 If the Lord our leader be, We may follow without fear; East or west, by land or sea, Home, with Him, is everywhere: When from Esau Jacob fled, Tho’ his pillow was a stone, And the ground his humble bed, Yet he was not left alone. 2 Kings are often waking kept, Racked with cares on beds of state; Never king like Jacob slept, For he lay at Heaven’s gate: Lo! he saw a ladder reared, Reaching to the heav’nly throne; At the top the Lord appeared, Spoke and claimed him for His own. 3 Fear not, Jacob, thou art Mine, And My presence with thee goes; On thy heart My love shall shine, And My arm subdue thy foes: From My promise comfort take, For My help in trouble call; Never will I thee forsake, ’Till I have accomplished all. 4 Well does Jacob’s ladder suit To the Gospel throne of grace; We are at the ladder’s foot, Every hour, in every place: By assuming flesh and blood, Jesus Heav’n and earth unites; We by faith ascend to God, God to dwell with us delights. 5 They who know the Savior’s name, Are for all events prepared; What can changes do to them, Who have such a guide and guard? Should they traverse earth around, To the ladder still they come; Every spot is holy ground, God is there—and He’s their home, Languages: English Tune Title: ST. GEORGE'S WINDSOR
