Can you tell me the name of a youth for whose love
The soul of a king was distressed
(2 Sam. 1);
And the man who delivered the people of God
By the use of his hand that was left
(Judges 3);
Or the man who by strength slew a thousand of men,
And then by sore thirst thought to die
(Judges 15);
Or the prophet who spoke for Jehovah and then
From the wrath of a king sought to fly
(Jer. 26)?
For the last you must see if his name you can tell,
Who thrice understood not God’s call
(1 Sam. 3).
When the whole you have found, the first letters will spell
The name which is high above all.
