by John Newton, If the Lord our leader be
“ Well does Jacob's ladder suit To the gospel throne of grace; We are at the ladder's foot, Every hour, in every place By affirming flesh and blood, JESUS heav'n and earth unites; We by faith ascend to God, God to dwell with us delights. They who know the Savior's name, Are for all events prepared What can changes do to them, Who have such a Guide and Guard? Should they traverse earth around, To the ladder still they come; Every spot is holy ground, God is there--and he's their home. ”
