Diuina Prouidentia by Andrew Willet
Jacob did see a ladder hie,
As he was laid asleepe;
The angels come and go thereby,
Which doe him safely keepe.
We learne hereby in euery way
That God must be our guide,
Or else we soone may go astray;
Our foote is apt to slide.
And as he saw this thing at rest,
So God keepeth vs when we thinke lest.
