The Virtuous Woman

By Mina Oglesby


She may not be dressed in the latest of style
But feel how you glow in the warmth of her smile
She’s blessed with compassion and faith of a child
A virtuous woman she is

A virtuous woman so rare to behold
Her price more than rubies, far greater than gold
Her favor or beauty you might not recall
But the virtuous woman excellest them all

She seeks after wisdom and works with her hands
Her husband and children can trust all her plans
Her courage is great for life’s many demands
A virtuous woman she is

“For who can find a virtuous woman? Her price is far above rubies. Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all. Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.”

She trusts in her Saviour and feeds on His Word
Each detail of living her prayers undergird
And though she has problems they’re working for good
A virtuous woman she is

A virtuous woman so rare to behold
Her price more than rubies, far greater than gold
Her favor or beauty you might not recall
But the virtuous woman excellest them all
