A Wife of Noble Character

A wife of noble character,
Is guerdon from the hand of God.
She works all day with eager hands,
Invests herself in every job.

She is not proud but full of love
And helps the hungry and the weak.
Her husband has full faith in her;
Of her, her children highly speak.

She speaks with wisdom, faith, and love,
And faithfulness receives reward
The gilt of beauty fades away,
But praised is she who fears the Lord.
