"And Ruth said, Entreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God: where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the LORD do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me" (Ruth 1:16,17). "Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen" (Ephesians 6:24).
How great was the passion of Ruth
Who pledged that she never would leave.
Her love thus reflected the truth
That those who love Christ also cleave.
It matters not where He may lead.
It matters not who else will go.
Our Savior will meet every need;
There's nothing more we have to know.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ
Extended from heaven above
Continually has sufficed
To form in us His lasting love.
