Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego,
Were servants of the Most High God,
They observed Jewish kosher laws,
Which their captors found quite odd.

But so fair and wise were those boys,
That they had favor before the king,
And though all went well for a spell,
There arose a very serious thing.

They dare not bow to the false gods,
Which stirred up the king's great ire,
Thus even though he liked those lads,
He yelled "Throw them into the fire!"

Full of wrath the king then barked,
"Make it much hotter than before,
Now bind those boys and throw them in,
Quick! Push shut that furnace door!"

Even though the men seemed so doomed,
God had quite another plan.
For when the king looked in the blaze,
There stood one like the Son of Man!

So because of their obedience,
Nothing befell those three young men,
No singed hair nor smell of smoke,
They just came right back out again.
