1 Hebrew children in de fiery furnace. And dey begin to pray, And de good Lawd smote dat fiyah out. Oh, wasn’t dat a mighty day! Good Lawd, wasn’t dat a mighty day! (refrain)
2 Daniel went in de lion’s den, And he begin to pray, And de angel of de Lawd locked de lion’s jaw. Oh, wasn’t dat a mighty day! Good Lawd, wasn’t dat a mighty day! (refrain)
