962. We Are Climbing Jacob's Ladder

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, will you love my Jesus?
Sinner, will you love my Jesus?
Sinner, will 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.

5 We are climbing higher, higher;
We are climbing higher, higher;
We are climbing higher, higher,
Soldiers of the cross.
