ay, rejoicing in the God of Bethel, who is still with
His people, and who, from the top of the ladder, holds sweet
communion with them, cheering them on their way, till He brings them
into the goodly land.

"Oh! touch mine eyes, that I may see
The vision of the Ladder bright;
Reveal Thy glory, Lord, to me,
And cheer the darkness of the night.

A stone is all my pillow here:
No other rest I seek below;
'A stranger and a sojourner,'
Like all my fathers, I would go.

But be Thou with me, and the night
More glad shall be than high noon-day,
And the lone desert shall be bright
With glories that ne'er pass away."
