| 'Twas a day in early springtime,
|
| By an ancient wayside well,
|
| Eliezer paused to rest his camel train.
|
| He had found a bride for Isaac
|
| Ere the evening shadows fell,
|
| For his weary journey had not been in vain.
|
| So he took the fair Rebekah,
|
| Dressed in jewels rich and rare,
|
| Quickly to her waiting bridegroom far away.
|
| Where Rebekah loved her Isaac,
|
| And he loved Rebekah fair;
|
| Oh, it must have been a happy wedding day.
|
| Oh, get ready! |
| Evening shadows fall.
|
| Don’t you hear the Eliezer call?
|
| There’s going to be a wedding,
|
| And our joy will soon begin,
|
| In the evening when the camel train comes in.
|
| Now the blessed Holy Spirit,
|
| From our Father God above,
|
| Has come down to earth to find a worthy Bride.
|
| For our Isaac over yonder
|
| Has prepared His tents of love,
|
| And He wants His fair Rebekah by His side.
|
| We have left our kinfolk gladly;
|
| We have bade the world goodbye.
|
| We’ve been called to be His pure and spotless Bride;
|
| Where we’ll soon behold our Jesus
|
| In that blest eternity—
|
| What a happy, happy wedding that will be! |
