NAMES AND ORDER OF THE BOOKS OF
* THE OLD TESTAMENT.

The great Jehovah speaks to us

In Genesis and Exodus ;

Leviticus and Numbers see

Followed by Deuteronomy.

Joshua and Judges sway the land,
Ruth gleans a sheaf with trembling hand ;
Samuel, and numerous Kings appear,
Whose chronicles we wondering hear ;
Ezra and Nehemiah now

Esther the beauteous mourner show :
Job speaks in sighs, David in Psalms,
The Proverbs teach to scatter alms.
Ecclesiastes then comes on,

And the sweet Song of Solomon.
Isaiah, Jeremiah then

With Lamentations takes his pen.
Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea’s lyres

Swell Joel, Amos, Obadiah’s.

Next Jonah, Micah, Nahum, come,
And lofty Habakkuk finds room.
While Zephaniah, Haggai calls,

Rapt Zechariah builds his walls ;

And Malachi, with garments rent,
Concludes the ancient Testament.
