Sarah and Esther, Mary, Ruth, and othersâ
All these were capable women, loyal wives.
Godly devotion was foremost in their lives.
They were faithful women, ones we know by name.
There were others favored by Jehovah
Nameless in the record
their faith was just the same.
Loyalty, courage, goodness, loving-kindness
Lovable qualities in all humankind
Virtues these excellent women bring to mind.
They were fine examples all can imitate.
Christian sisters, walking in their footsteps
Worthy is your service
and happy your estate.
Mothers and daughters, sisters, wives, and widows
Willingly laboring, glad to do your part.
Modest your bearing, submissive is your heart,
Having God's approval, may you never fear.
Christian sisters, may Jehovah keep you
Firm in your conviction,
your prize is drawing near.
