There was three children from the land of Israel

Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!

They took a little trip to the land of Babylon 

Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!

Nebudchanezzer was the king of Babylon 

Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!

He took a lot of gold, and made an idol 

Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!



And he told everybody “when you hear the music of the trombone

And he told everybody “when you hear the music of the clarinet

And he told everybody “when you hear the music of the horn

You must fall down and worship the idol!

Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!



But the children of Israel would not bow down! 

Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!

Couldn't fool 'em with a golden idol! 

Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!

I said you couldn't fool 'em with a golden idol!

Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!



So the king put the children in the fiery furnace

Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!

Heaped on coals and red-hot brimstone

Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!

Eleven times hotter, hotter than it oughtta be! 

Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!

Burned up the soldiers that the king had put there

Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!



But the Lord sent an angel with the snow-white wings

Down in the middle of the furnace

Talkin' to the children 'bout the power of the Gospel

Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!



Well they couldn't burn a hair on the head of 

Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!

Laughin' and talkin' while the fire jumpin' round 

Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!



Old Nebudchanezzer called "hey there!

When he saw the power of the Lord

And they had a regal time in the house of Babylon

Shadrack! Meshach, Abednego!

Oh, Abednego!!
