Entreat Me Not to Leave Thee
VERSE 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.
Reff
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.
VERSE 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.
VERSE 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.
