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.

 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.

 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.

 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!
