[Verse 1] An old servant traveled with ten camels in line, Gold in the saddlebags, dust in the shine. Sent to the country of Abraham's name, Seeking a bride for the son who remained. He knelt by the well when the evening drew near, And prayed for a kindness that heaven would make clear. [Refrain] At the well, at the turning of day, A willing heart made the answer plain. Water for the stranger, water for the train; Providence moved through an ordinary name. [Verse 2] Rebekah came carrying a vessel of clay, Gave him to drink, then the camels straightway. Bracelets were offered, her household was told; Bethuel and Laban saw guidance unfold. "Wilt thou go with this man?" She answered, "I will." The road opened westward, the promise moved still. [Turn] Isaac walked in the field at evening alone; He lifted his eyes and saw camels come home. She covered her face when the bridegroom was shown; He brought her to Sarah's remembered tent-home. [Final Refrain] At the well, at the turning of day, A willing heart made the answer plain. Sorrow found comfort, the household grew; The covenant traveled through Rebekah too.
