Genesis 24
| 1 |
'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. |
|
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. |
| 2 |
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. |
| 3 |
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. |
|
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. |
| 4 |
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! |
|
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. |
