Religion
Ruth 1:16: Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Thou canst not, Lord, a beggar spurn
That courts Thy company.
Wherefore I never will return
From following after Thee;
Resolved, where'er Thou goest, I go,
In all Thy footsteps tread,
And glad like Thee to want below
A place to lay my head.
