LADDER TO THE SKY

Through bitter valley I have been
To reach this ladder to the sky
Where angels can descend to men,
Proclaim the Son to us draws nigh.

For down that ladder He now comes
To Full of Grace who has said “Yes,”
And in her womb a man becomes:
A sovereign who is now our guest.

He comes to Adam’s sin forgive
In us who are his progeny,
As new life to each one He gives:
A life from Him makes us sin free.

And yoked to Him we ladder climb
Into the dawn from heaven shines,
As all on earth is made sublime—
Washed clean by Blood is His new wine.

New earth by heaven’s grace appears
As all creation by Him raised—
Breathes air that brings His heaven’s cheer:
To Trinity we all sing praise!
