Was it so easy to turn from Truth-
Stop thy ears from Reason's voice?
Silence is such a convenient choice-
Unlike the daughter of Moab, Ruth.
"Where thou diest, I will die!
Where thou goest, so go I!"
Ruth pursued after Truth this way-
Naomi's God would be her God.
Ruth walked Israel's chosen sod-
Moab's idols she would not obey.
"Thy people will be mine,
My God the same as thine!"
Oh that this speech were yours-
Obey God's word against all others!
Forsake sisters, fathers, mothers-
Christ is knocking on your doors!
