Act I, The Patriarchs, Scene 7: Jacob and the Angel lyrics
by Kurt Weill
[RABBI]
And Jacob reached a certain place
And there lay down to pass the night
For the day was done and the sun had set
And a dream came
And behold upon the earth stood a ladder
And with its top it reached into the heavens
[DISTANT VOICE]
Thy foe will triumph, but I am with thee
[JACOB]
If thou art with me
If thou art with me
