Virtuous Woman - Martha Petrusevich

Virtuous Woman
A virtuous woman is so very hard to find,
Which serves the Lord with heart and mind.
Who seeks God daily, with all her soul,
Who seeks His ways and sees the goal.

Whose faith in God is deep and strong,
With love that’s deep and suffers long.
With faith that ‘s so strongly anchored fast,
That through deep trials will always last.

With heart that’s full of hope and prayer,
That will trust the Lord and won’t despair.
With love for God’s Holy Word and way,
That will study it daily, day by day.    

One that does her work and daily duty,
One that seeks for that inner beauty.
With appearance that’s modest and discreet,
Meek, prudent, humble and always neat.

That learns to meekly surrender and obey,
And all her doubts at God’s feet to lay.
With countenance that is joyful and sweet,
Without any dishonesty, hypocrisy or deceit.

Whose inner beauty is so great to behold,
Worth so much greater than jewels or gold.    
Who doesn’t seek fame or earthly gain,
Who doesn’t murmur, grumble or complain.

Who cheerfully toils with heart and hands,
She sees others pain and really understands.
Who offers the hurting a helping hand and ear,
Who takes time to help and wipe their tear.

Whose heart is full of praise and song,
Who keeps herself from sin and wrong.
Who stands for truth and does not fear,
To be genuine, trustworthy and sincere.

Whose heart is full of love for others,
For her sister’s and her brothers.
Who seeks for treasure far more then gold,
Which is wisdom that cannot be sold.

A virtuous woman is so hard to find,
That is gentle, patient and kind.
Whose inner beauty is so great to behold,
Worth so much greater than jewels or gold.
