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 shall be light In the evening time,
The path to glory you will 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.

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.

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.
