The Water Way

Long ago the maids drew water
In the evening time, they say,
One day Isaac sent his servant
To stop Rebekah on her way,
My master sent me here to tell thee;
See these jewels rich and rare;
Would'st thou not his lovely bride be
In that country over there?

CHORUS
It will be light in the evening time,
The path to glory you will surely find;
Thru the water way, It is the light today,
Buried in the precious Name of Jesus Christ.
Young and old, repent of all your sin,
The Holy Ghost will surely enter in;
The evening Light has come,
It is a fact that God and Christ are one.

So God's servants come to tell you
Of a Bridegroom in the sky,
Looking for a holy people
To be His bride soon, by and by;
He sends to us refreshing water
In this wondrous latter day;
They who really will be raptured
Must go thru the water way.

CHORUS
It will be light in the evening time,
The path to glory you will surely find;
Thru the water way, It is the light today,
Buried in the precious Name of Jesus Christ.
Young and old, repent of all your sin,
The Holy Ghost will surely enter in;
The evening Light has come,
It is a fact that God and Christ are one.

Are you on your way to ruin,
Cumbered with a load of care?
See the quick work God is doing
That so His glory you may share,
At last the faith He once delivered
To the saints, is ours today;
To get in the Church triumphant
You must go the water way.

CHORUS
It will be light in the evening time,
The path to glory you will surely find;
Thru the water way, It is the light today,
Buried in the precious Name of Jesus Christ.
Young and old, repent of all your sin,
The Holy Ghost will surely enter in;
The evening Light has come,
It is a fact that God and Christ are one.

Have you looked and often wondered
Why the power is slack today?
Will you stay in that back number
And go on in the man-made way?
Oh saints who never have been buried
In the blessed name of God,
Let the truth now sanctify you;
It's the way apostles trod.

CHORUS
It will be light in the evening time,
The path to glory you will surely find;
Thru the water way, It is the light today,
Buried in the precious Name of Jesus Christ.
Young and old, repent of all your sin,
The Holy Ghost will surely enter in;
The evening Light has come,
It is a fact that God and Christ are one.
