Books of the Old Testament

Books of the Old Testament.
212.5
The great Jehovah speaks to us
In Genesis and Exodus.
Loviticus and Numbers seo
Followed by Deuteronomy.
Joshua and Judges sway the land,
Ruth gleans a sheat 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.
And Proverbs teach to scatter alms.
Ecclesiastes then comes on
With the sweet Songs 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 Habakuk finds room.
While Zechariah Haggui calls,
Rapt Zachariah builds his walls,
And Malachi, with garments rent, concludes the ancient Testament.
