211. 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,
we are climbing on.

2 Ev'ry round goes higher, higher,
ev'ry round goes higher, higher,
ev'ry round goes higher, higher,
we are climbing on.

3 If I stumble, will you help me?
If I stumble, will you help me?
If I stumble, will you help me?
We are climbing on.

4 Though the road is steep and rugged,
though the road is steep and rugged,
though the road is steep and rugged,
we are climbing on.
