'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 fall
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
(Chorus:)
Oh, get ready
the evening shadows fall
Don't you hear the Eliezer call
There's going to be a wedding
Our joys will soon begin
In the evening when the camel train comes in
(Verse:)
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
he's prepared his tents of love
and he wants his fair Rebekah by his side
We've left our kinfolk gladly
We've bade the world goodbye
We've been called to be his pure and spotless bride
Where we'll soon behold King Jesus
in that blessed eternity
What a happy, happy wedding that will be
(Repeat chorus)
