WHOM did the Lord of hosts His shepherd call?
Who raised the ax the prophet’s son let fall?
Who for a noble deed was harshly blamed?
One of Paul’s helpers to the Romans named?
What saint on earth saw Christ at Gad’s right hand?
Whose son was call’d to leave his native land?
What sinful prophet was in battle slain?
Whom did St. Paul restore to life again?
Who to his feast had sacred vessels brought?
Who through the parching land green pastures sought?
Who tauntingly to Hezekiah sent?
Whose words caused David deeply to repent?
Who in the fight disguised himself in vain?
What people by deceit a league did gain?
Who with his trusty spear wished Saul to slay?
Who in the eventide went forth to pray?
Where did the Lord a widow’s heart make glad,
And by his mighty power revive the dead?
The second letter from the first name take,
The first of all the rest; without mistake,
A most momentous truth you then will see,
Without that change you ne’er can happy be.
