June 1-7: Ruth 1:16-17
A truer friend
One cannot be,
Then Ruth of old
To Naomi,
When she did give
Her earnest plea,
“Entreat me not to leave thee.”
“For where you go
So I’ll go too,
The road you journey
I’ll walk through,
In life and death
I’ll stay with you,
Entreat me not to leave thee.”
“Thy God will be
The one I praise,
Thy people will
Be mine always,
I’ll follow with thee
All my days,
Entreat me not to leave thee.”
Oh such a friend
I’ll strive to be,
Devoted through
Eternity,
Until my lips
And heart agree,
Entreat me not to leave thee.
