INTRODUCTION

With a well-known melody,
You'll hear some words quite new,
To learn God's books from memory,
This song will help you through.

VERSE 1

Ge-ne-sis and Ex-o-dus,
Next we have Le-vit-i-cus.
Num-bers, Deu-te-ron-o-my,
Josh-ua, Judg-es, Ruth you'll see,
Two of Sam-uel, two of Kings,
Tells us what life of-ten brings.

VERSE 2

Chron-i-cles, books one and two,
Family names and other clues,
Ez-ra, Ne-he-mi-ah next,
Est-her, Job, and Psalms, great text!
Pro-verbs, ec-cle-si-as-tes,
Song of Sol-o-mon will please,

VERSE 3

I-sai-ah, Jer-e-mi-ah,
La-men-ta-tions in Judah,
E-zek-iel and Dan-i-el,
Ho-se-a and then Jo-el.
Am-os, O-ba-di-ah, who?,
Jo-nah,Mi-cah, Na-hum too,

VERSE 4

What a name like Ha-bak-kuk,
Zeph-an-i-ah, are you stuck?
Hag-gai, Zech-a-ri-ah then,
Mal-a-chi will mark the end,
Of the test-a-ment of old,
With all those events fore-told,

VERSE 5

Now its the new test-a-ment,
All about the Son He sent.
Mat-thew, Mark and Luke and John,
Acts and Ro-mans, Corint-thi-ans,
Ga-la-tians, E-phe-si-ans,
Phil-lip-ians, Co-los-si-ans.

VERSE 6

Thes-sa-lon-ians, one and two,
Tim-o-thy one and Tim-o-thy two.
Titus on to Phil-e-mon,
He-brews, James, Pe-ter and John.
Jude is very near the end,
Re-ve-la-tion is the end,

ENDING

Words that must be read and heard
