Refrain:

Soon may our Savior come

to bring us love and salvation

One day when the world is done

to heaven we will go

The first of the books is Genesis

It tells us all how God made us

The second book is Exodus --

"Let my people go!"

Leviticus and Numbers next

Deuteronomy--that's the Torah's text

Joshua, Judges, Ruth and then

Two books of Samuel

Two each for Kings and Chronicles

Then Ezra, Nehemiah

Tobit, Judith, Esther

First and Second Maccabees

Job and Psalms and Proverbs

and Ecclesiastes, Song of Songs

Wisdom, Sirach, Isaiah

then Jeremiah

Lamentations and Baruch

Ezekiel and Daniel

Hosea, Joel, and Amos

and then Obadiah

Jonah, Micah, Nahum

Habakkuk and Zephaniah

Haggai, Zechariah

And we end with Malachi
