Genesis 28:10-22.

The sun had set. He was alone;

Mid twilight shadows he would rest.

He laid his head upon a stone

To woo sweet slumber for his guest.

Perhaps within those midnight hours

His rugged bed was cold and chill,

But wrapped in Dreamland's mystic powers,

He knew no danger, felt no ill.

A vision in his dreams appeared!

Angels were stepping to and fro

Upon a ladder which, upreared,

Aided their ministry below.

And then God spake in words which said

What future ages would unfold,

The soil on which he made his bed

Was his, by prophecy foretold.

He further heard that holy voice

Predict that through his tribe would be

Blessings in which all should rejoice,
