Matthew and Mark and Luke and John the holy Gospels wrote,
Describing how the Saviour died, His life, and all He taught;
Acts prove how God the Apostles owned with signs in every place;
St Paul in Romans teaches us how man is saved by grace;
The Apostle in Corinthians instructs, exhorts, reproves;
Galatians shows that faith in Christ alone the Father loves;
Ephesians and Philippians tell what Christians ought to be;
Colossians bids us live to God and for Eternity;
In Thessalonians we are taught the Lord will come from Heaven;
Timothy and Titus show a preacher’s warrant given;
Philemon draws a Christian’s love which only Christians know;
Hebrews reveals the Gospel prefigured by the Law;
James teaches “without holiness, faith is vain and dead;”
Saint Peter points the narrow way in which the saints are led;
John in his three Epistles on Love delights to dwell;
St Jude gives awful warning of Judgment, Wrath, and Hell;
The Revelation prophesies of that tremendous day.
When Christ and Christ alone shall be the trembling sinner’s stay.
