Misc Praise Songs – Camel Train (Guitar)

G
’Twas a day in early springtime,

       C
By an ancient wayside well,

  D                D7            G
Eliezer paused to rest his camel train.

G
He had found a bride for Isaac

        C
Ere the evening shadows fell,

       D            D7               G
For his weary journey had not been in vain.

G               C
Oh, get ready! Evening shadows fall.

D                  D7       G
Don’t you hear the Eliezer call?

G                     G7
There’s going to be a wedding,

        C
And our joy will soon begin,

        D               D7               G
In the evening when the camel train comes in.

G
So he took the fair Rebekah,

           C
Dressed in jewels rich and rare,

D                D7            G
Quickly to her waiting bridegroom far away.

G
Where Rebekah loved her Isaac,

         C
And he loved Rebekah fair;

D                D7            G
Oh, it must have been a happy wedding day.

G               C
Oh, get ready! Evening shadows fall.

D                  D7       G
Don’t you hear the Eliezer call?

G                     G7
There’s going to be a wedding,

        C
And our joy will soon begin,

        D               D7               G
In the evening when the camel train comes in

G
Now the blessed Holy Spirit,

         C
From our Father God above,

D                D7            G
Has come down to earth to find a worthy Bride.

G
For our Isaac over yonder

          C
Has prepared His tents of love,

D                D7            G
And He wants His fair Rebekah by His side.

G               C
Oh, get ready! Evening shadows fall.

D                  D7       G
Don’t you hear the Eliezer call?

G                     G7
There’s going to be a wedding,

        C
And our joy will soon begin,

        D               D7               G
In the evening when the camel train comes in

G
We have left our kinfolk gladly;

        C
We have bade the world goodbye.

D                D7            G
We’ve been called to be His pure and spotless Bride;

G
Where we’ll soon behold our Jesus

        C
In that blest eternity--

D                D7            G
What a happy, happy wedding that will be!

G               C
Oh, get ready! Evening shadows fall.

Don’t you hear the Eliezer call?

G                     G7
There’s going to be a wedding,

        C
And our joy will soon begin,

        D               D7               G
In the evening when the camel train comes in
