26
RUTH.
Intreat me not to leave thee so,
Or turn from following thee;
Where'er thou goest I will go,
Thy home my home shall be!
Or turn from following thee;
Where'er thou goest I will go,
Thy home my home shall be!
The path thou treadest, hear my vow,
By me shall still be trod;
Thy people be my people now;
Thy God shall be my God!
By me shall still be trod;
Thy people be my people now;
Thy God shall be my God!
Reft of all else, to thee I cleave,
Content if thou art nigh;
Whene'er thou grievest I will grieve,
And where thou diest, die!
Content if thou art nigh;
Whene'er thou grievest I will grieve,
And where thou diest, die!
And may the Lord, whose hand hath wrought
This weight of misery,
Afflict me so, and more, if aught
But death part thee and me!
This weight of misery,
Afflict me so, and more, if aught
But death part thee and me!
