Entreat me not to leave thee

Gounod, Charles

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 I will die

And there will I be buried.

The Lord do so to me, and more also,

If aught but death part thee and me.
