OH, GET READY! EVENING SHADOWS FALL (Hymn 1318 verse 1 & 2) |
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. (Chorus) 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. |
