THERE IS A LADDER

(TUNE:I HAVE DECIDED TO FOLLOW JESUS #397   10.10.10.8)

 

There is a Ladder from earth to heaven,

There is a Ladder to sinners given,

No need to perish, the way is open!

O sinner, come! O sinner, come!

 

Above the Ladder our God is standing,

Covenant blessings through Christ He's sending,

His grace, and mercy, and love unending

Through Jesus come! Through Jesus come!

 

Angels ascending, angels descending,

God's chosen Jacob's they are protecting,

All ransomed sinners they are defending,

Because of Christ! Because of Christ!

 

Behold the Ladder! Believe in Jesus!

Almighty Savior, He'll never fail us!

Upon this Ladder, we'll never perish!

He'll take us home! He'll take us home!
