[What doth the ladder mean]
He dreamed, and behold a ladder, &c.
—xxviii. 12, 13.
What doth the ladder mean,
Sent down from the Most High?
Fasten'd to earth its foot is seen,
Its summit to the sky:
Lo! up and down the scale
The angels swiftly move,
And God, the great Invisible,
Himself appears above!
Sent down from the Most High?
Fasten'd to earth its foot is seen,
Its summit to the sky:
Lo! up and down the scale
The angels swiftly move,
And God, the great Invisible,
Himself appears above!
Jesus that ladder is,
The' incarnate Deity,
Partaker of celestial bliss
And human misery;
Sent from His high abode,
To sleeping mortals given,
He stands, and man unites to God,
And earth connects with heaven.
The' incarnate Deity,
Partaker of celestial bliss
And human misery;
Sent from His high abode,
To sleeping mortals given,
He stands, and man unites to God,
And earth connects with heaven.
