We are climbing Jacob's ladder,
We are climbing Jacob's ladder,
Soldiers of the cross.

Ev'ry round goes higher, higher,
Ev'ry round goes higher, higher,
Soldiers of the cross.
3 Sinner, do you love my Jesus?
Sinner, do you love my Jesus?
Sinner, do you love my Jesus?
Soldiers of the cross.
4 If you love him, shy not serve him?
If you love him, shy not serve him?
If you love him, shy 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.
