Tune: Skye Boat Song
('Spirit of God, unseen as the wind')
Daniel 2 v.20-23
*******
Chorus
To Daniel dreams sure were revealed
Visions not hid, unsealed
He the Lord praised, the great God of heaven
Ruler over all men [mankind]
He did say, Blesséd be the name
Of God, of endless fame
For wisdom and might be His sure
Infinite, evermore - Chorus
He changes the times and seasons
By His own plans, reasons
He removes kings and set up kings
He Lord over all things - Chorus
He gives wisdom unto the wise
Grace, mercy, He supplies
And gives knowledge to them that know
Understanding, 'tis so - Chorus
He reveals deep and secret things
To Him creation sings
He knows what is in the darkness
His thoughts are numberless - Chorus
Daniel gave his God thanks and praise
Did to Him worship raise
He too God of his ancestors
His past brothers, sisters - Chorus
Thanks given for wisdom and might
Changed the darkness to light
Made known to them what they desired
Prayers answered, not debarred - Chorus

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem with verses in 8.6.8.6. Common Metre (CM), and chorus in 9.6.9.6. metre. The historical background can be found in Daniel Chapter 2. The words in the clip may be different to the version you know.

Thanks STEVE ~ A double blessing today ! Lovely Tune ~ lovely Words ~ praise for the Holy Spirit ~ The SCRIPTURE UNION is the only UNION I have ever belonged to ! AND DANIEL one of the most exciting characters in the BIBLE ~ Thanks for caring & Sharing ~ Yours BRIAN
Thanks Brian. It was made seemingly quite impossible for Daniel - madness, humanly speaking. How could one know what someone had been dreaming, let alone interpret it?! The king said ' I forgot' or at least 'I'm not telling ya what the dream was'. And dangerous times. Nebuchadnezzar could be terribly unpredictable.
Who is Wisdom - do I know him?
Thanks Michael. Well, Wisdom is sort of personalised in the Bible as a 'she'. Doh - why not as a 'he'?! Unless you mean Norman Wisdom?
Well men have wisdom teeth And Norman was a man - well that's where lived.
Freud thought he knew something about the interpretation of dreams. It makes you wonder. I enjoyed this poem.
Thanks wc. I might agree with Freud, apart from his 'swoony' side of things - the slap and tickle stuff! ooh.
Another good one Orchi.
Thanks Gold.
I guess, orchie, YOU could have used some of that wisdom BEFORE you married KP!
Thanks Fred. Yes. But oh woe, too late now! lol.
