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 shows us faith 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 pastors to attend.

Philemon, Christian friendship shows.

Then Hebrews clearly tell 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 ends the whole New Testament

and all the books are twenty-seven.
