Books of the Bible (Old and New Testament)

Lyrics

Old Testament

Let us sing the books of Moses, of Moses, of Moses,

Let us sing the books of Moses, for he wrote the Law.

There’s Genesis and Exodus and Leviticus and Numbers,

And then comes Deuteronomy the last of them all.

 

Let us sing the books of history, of history, of history,

Let us sing the books of history, which tell of the Jews.

There’s Joshua and Judges and the story of Ruth,

Then First and Second Samuel and First and Second Kings

Then First and Second Chronicles that give us the record,

and Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther the queen.

 

Let us sing the books of poetry, of poetry, of poetry,

Let us sing the books of poetry: the songs the Jews sang.

There’s Job, Psalms of David, and the Proverbs of the wise one,

and then Ecclesiastes and the Song of Solomon.

 

Let us sing the major prophets, major prophets, major prophets,

Let us sing the major prophets; there are five books in all:

Isaiah, Jeremiah, who wrote Lamentations,

and Ezekiel and Daniel, who were true to their God.

 

Let us sing the minor prophets, minor prophets, minor prophets,

Let us sing the minor prophets, there are twelve books in all:

Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk,

Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi.
