Where the songs go in Daniel

The 18 songs here set 5 of the 5 movements in Daniel to music: “Four Boys and a Furnace” (Daniel 1–3), “A King Who Ate Grass, and Writing on a Wall” (Daniel 4–6), “Beasts Out of the Sea” (Daniel 7–8), “Seventy Weeks” (Daniel 9) and “The Man Clothed in Linen” (Daniel 10–12).

Four Boys and a Furnace (Daniel 1–3). Teenagers taken to Babylon are given new names, a new language and the king’s food, and they ask for vegetables and water instead.

Beasts Out of the Sea (Daniel 7–8). Four beasts come up out of a churning sea and thrones are set in place, and one like a son of man is brought before the Ancient of Days.

The Man Clothed in Linen (Daniel 10–12). After three weeks of mourning he sees a man in linen by the river and is told the answer was sent on the first day and was held up on the way.
