Could I hear Him, "Eliezer,"
And for Isaac not be won?
Ah, the Father loved and sought me -
Sent and claimed me for his Son.
Let the token on my forehead,
Let the bracelet on my hand,
Prove me now the chosen daughter
Of the Lord of all the land.
I will go; I would not tarry;
Object of that heart's delight!
He was unto death obedient;
I would walk with him in white.
Jewels, raiment, gifts, the servant
Brought for me from Isaac's hand:
Precious things, that else had never
Shone in any foreign land.
I shall see Him in His beauty --
He, Himself, His bride will meet;
I shall be with Him for ever --
In companionship complete.
Thoughts of Him are strength and gladness
What man comes there forth our way?
"'Tis my Master!" 'tis the Bridegroom:
Veiled -- the bride is caught away.
And the servant telleth Isaac
All the things that he had done:
And Rebekah reigns in Hebron --
Wife of the once offered One.
