Refrain: |
|
They wouldn't bend |
|
They held on to the will of God so we are told |
|
They wouldn't bow |
|
They would not bow their knees to Idols made of gold |
|
They wouldn't burn |
|
They were protected by the Fourth Man in the fire |
|
They wouldn't bend |
|
They wouldn't bow, they wouldn't burn. |
|
Now the prophet Daniel tells about |
|
Three men who walked with God |
|
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego |
|
Before the wicked king they stood |
|
And the king commanded them bound and thrown |
|
Into the fiery furnace that day |
|
But the fire was so hot that the men were slain |
|
That forced them on their way. |
|
Refrain: |
|
Now when the three were cast in and the king rose up |
|
To witness this awful fate |
|
He began to tremble at what he saw |
|
In astonished tones he spake |
|
Did we not cast three men bound |
|
Into the midst of the fire |
|
Well, Lo, I see four men unhurt |
|
Unbound and walkin' down there; |
|
There's Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego |
|
And the fiery coals they trod |
|
But the form of the Fourth Man that I see |
|
Is like the Son of God |
