Sarah and Esther, Mary, Ruth, and others—
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
