MATTHEW, MARK, LUKE and JOHN
Tell what Christ did in every place;
The ACTS tell what the Apostles did,
And ROMANS how we're saved by grace.
CORINTHIANS instruct the church;
GALATIANS show us Christ alone;
EPHESIANS, true love, and in
PHILIPPIANS God's grace is shown.
COLOSSIANS tells us more of Christ,
And THESSALONIANS of the end;
In TIMOTHY and TITUS both
Are rules for preachers to attand.
PHILEMON, Christian friendship shows,
Then HEBREWS clearly tells how all
The Jewish law prefigured Christ;
And these Epistles are by Paul.
JAMES shows that faith by works must live,
And PETER urges steadfastness;
While JOHN exhorts to Christian love,
For those who have it God will bless.
JUDE shows the end of evil men,
And REVELATION tells of Heaven;
This is the end of the New Testament
And all the books are twenty-seven.
