Verse 1

Matthew, Mark and Luke and John,
Tell us all about God's Son.
Who He was and what He'd be,
So that all who read can see.

Refrain

A king He was in Matthew, a servant in Mark,
Son of man in Luke, Thou art,
As the Son of God in John we read,
All the four gospel words we need.

VERSE 2

First His gen-e-ol-o-gy,
Then His birth, then wise-men three.
Words we read at Christmas time,
God in man He came sublime.

Refrain

A king He was in Matthew, a servant in Mark,
Son of man in Luke, Thou art,
As the Son of God in John we read,
All the four gospel words we need.

Verse 3

Next we go to Galilee,
Read about His ministry,
How He called those disciples,
Then performed great miracles.

Refrain

A king He was in Matthew, a servant in Mark,
Son of man in Luke, Thou art,
As the Son of God in John we read,
All the four gospel words we need.

VERSE 4

Then we have Jerusalem,
There the problems all began.
Arguments with Pharisees,
Led up to Gesthemane.

Verse 5

Then His death upon a tree,
So that all the world could see,
He would die so we could gain,
If we claim His precious name.

Verse 6

Then came resurrection day,
In the tomb He would not stay.
Then He rose that we might live,
Life that only He could give.

Last Refrain

A king He was in Matthew, a servant in Mark,
Son of man in Luke, Thou art,
As the Son of God in John we read,
All the four gospel words we need.
