500. 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,
bearers of the cross.

2 Every round goes higher, higher,
every round goes higher, higher,
every round goes higher, higher,
bearers of the cross.

3 Rise, shine, give God glory,
rise, shine, give God glory,
rise, shine, give God glory,
bearers of the cross.
