This is the second of three songs written for a Sunday School presentation based on the story of Daniel in the Lions' den. For the last verse there is a change from minor to major key, which is quite difficult for children - it takes a considerable amount of practice! The music was originally developed for a Yamaha MU80 sound module, but the midi file on this website has been re-configured for a Soundblaster AWE 64 card to give roughly similar sound texture. Actual results will depend on the sound card in your computer.
The king retired but could
not sleep, no comfort did he find
But thoughts of Daniel with the lions kept running through his troubled mind.
"Oh what a fool I've been, Daniel's in the lions' den,
And I can only hope that God will save him."
Next morning he went to
the den in haste and stood outside,
And then with grave lamenting voice the king to Daniel loudly cried:
"Oh Daniel, are you there? Has the living God you serve
Been able to deliver you from the lions?"
