The Eliezer Call

T'was a day in early spring time,

by an ancient wayside well,

Eliezer paused to rest his camel train;

He had found a bride for Isaac

Ere the evening shadows fell,

And his weary journey

had not been in vain.

So he took the fair Rebekah,

decked in jewels rich and rare

Back to Abraham and Sarah far away.

Where Rebekah loved her Isaac,

And he loved Rebekah fair;

Oh, it must have been

a happy wedding day.

Oh get ready, the evening shadows fall,

Don't you hear the Eliezer call?

There's going to be a wedding supper,

our joys will soon begin,

In the evening

when the camel train comes in.

The blessed Holy Spirit,

through the prophet of this day,

Has come down to earth

to claim 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've bid the world goodbye;

We're going to

a Land beyond the sea.

We shall soon behold our Isaac

In the blest Eternity;

What a happy,

happy meeting that will be.
