"The book of the generation Jesus Christ... Booz [Boaz] of Rechab [Rehab], and Booz begat Obed of Ruth, and Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David the king" (Matthew 1:1-6).
The gentiles listed in the line
Of Jesus Christ our Savior
Were certainly, by God's design,
To manifest His favor.
Though Rehab lived in Jericho
In judgment's fearful path,
By faith in God she came to know
Deliverance from His wrath.
Though Ruth was widowed and forlorn
By faith she found her place
With Boaz, and from them was born
The line of Christ we trace.
O Lord, we see Your mercy shown
Through every generation
As You, by faith, have thus made known
Your marvelous salvation!
