We Are Climbing Jacob's Ladder

Representative Text

1. We are climbing Jacob's ladder;
We are climbing Jacob's ladder;
We are climbing Jacob's ladder,
Soldiers of the cross.

2. Ev'ry round goes higher, higher;
Ev'ry round goes higher, higher;
Ev'ry round goes higher, higher,
Soldiers of the cross.

3. Sinner, do you love my Jesus?
Sinner, do you love my Jesus?
Sinner, do you love my Jesus?
Soldiers 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?
Soldiers of the cross.
