“It was three weeks after fasting,
I was praying with heart and soul:
pleading to The Lord that He help me,
that He hasten to me and console;

then one day in April as I stood by a mighty river:
I looked and suddenly there before me appeared a
vision that caused be to shiver!

The vision was about to speak to me,
I grew pale and weak with fright-
then fell to the ground face downward
unable to bear the sight.

His eyes were like pools of fire,
had feet and armed like polished brass.
And like the sound of a mass of people
His voice roared strong and vast.

He placed his hands upon me.
I was lifted up from the ground;
My knees began to tremble,
as the voice began to resound:

'Oh Dear Daniel, beloved of God,
listen to what I have to say:
Do not fear for I have been sent here
to answer your prayer this day!

Soon a might battle will come to pass,
evil powers will fight against The Lord;
but God's faithful will hold firm until the end...
then the righteous shall receive their reward at last.
