But the D7fire was so hot that the men were slain
That forced them on their Gway
[Verse 4]
Now when the three were cast in
And the King rose up to Cwitness this awful fate
He D7began to tremble at what he saw
And in astonished tones he Gspake
[Bridge]
Did we not cast three men bound Cinto the midst that fire
For lo I D7see four men unhurt unbound and walking down Gthere
There's Shadrack Meshack and Abednego in the Cfiery coals they trod
And the D7form of the fourth man that I see is like the Son of GGod
