EN 260 Entreat Me Not to Leave Thee

Ruth.1.16

Versi Version 1

1

Entreat me not to leave thee,

My heart goes with thee now;

Why turn my footsteps homeward?

No friend so dear as thou!

Thy heart has borne my sorrow,

And I have wept for thine;

And now how can I leave thee?

Oh, let thy lot be mine.

Entreat me not to leave thee,

Entreat me not to leave thee,

Or to return from following after thee;

For where thou goest I will go,

And where thou lodgest I will lodge;

Thy people shall be my people,

And thy God my God,

Thy people shall be my people,

And thy God my God.

2

I’ll follow where thou leadest;

My love will cling to thee;

And where thy head is pillowed,

My nightly rest shall be;

Thy birthplace and thy kindred

I’ll cherish like my own;

Thy God shall be my refuge,

I’ll worship at His throne.

3

Where death’s cold hand shall find thee,

There let my eyelids close,

And, in the grave beside thee,

This mortal frame repose:

Oh, do not now entreat me;

No friend so dear as thou;

My heart would break in anguish

If I should leave thee now.
