Camel Train

’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.

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.

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!
