By George E. Tack

Ruth

GEORGE E. TACK

FAIR maid of Moab, whose unswerving love Led her from home, afar, fore’er to dwell With God and Israel, what tongue can tell Her deeds of love that still the ages move? How bright must shine those deeds in courts above, Where love is greatest, and where seraphim E’er praise love’s deeds in each immortal hymn, And all good deeds of God’s beloved approve!
How sweet are lives when purged of self’s old leaven, Like cool streams sparkling ’neath a burning sun, To bless and to be blessed, the gift of heaven! And such is Ruth’s, till earth’s sad course is run. Great recompense to her of God was given— Ancestress sweet of kings and heaven’s Son.
