A song from my youth in Bible study had three versus. I can only remember one of them, and I do not know the title; However...the first verse goes like this. "Back in the long, long ago...there were three men we all know...their names were Meshcak, Shadrach, and Abednigo....the King gave orders, we're told, to worship idles of gold...or in the firey furnace they'd go. When they refused to kneel down, their hands and feet, they were bound...the king said "while you're burning, show me God is around"... what are the last two versus, and where might I get a copy of the sheet music? Thank you most sincerely... |

After a lengthy search, I was unable to find a song with the lyrics you quote, but you might be interested in a different song about the same Biblical story. "Shadrack" was a hit for Louis Armstrong, and also, in later years, for Brook Benton and Phil Harris. Although the song sounds as if it might be an old African American spiritual, it was written in 1931 by Robert MacGimsey, who also wrote "Sweet Little Jesus Boy." http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Academy/3225/60s_and_70s/Brook_Benton/Shadrack.txt You can hear an audio clip from Louis Armstrong's version of "Shadrack" here: http://cdnow.com/cgi-bin/mserver/SID=1039779564/pagename=/RP/CDN/FIND/album.html/ArtistID=ARMSTRONG*LOUIS/ITEMID=1392806 |

No luck here either, but another song about the Fiery Furnace story is 'The Fourth Man', recorded by Johnny Cash. You can find the lyrics here: AllCountry: Johnny Cash http://www.allcountry.de/History/Archive/Johnny_Cash/JCash_Songbook/JCash_Song03/body_jcash_song03.html |

I think you're referring to "Shadrach, Meshcak And Abednego." I was able to find a brief MP3 of th ong sung by Bobbi Blake at: http://www.aspma.com/mp3.htm, but I was unable to find the sheet music. It may not be a published song. Kriswrite |

It was popular enough for the Beastie Boys to paraphrase it: "We're just 3 M.C.'s and we're on the go SHADRACH MESACH ABEDNAGO" http://display.lyrics.astraweb.com:2000/display.cgi?beastie_boys..pauls_boutique..shadrach |
