¶Lyrics / Text

Rex Babylonis venit ad lacum, et introspexit, et ecce Daniel sedens in medio leonum. Exclamavit rex voce magna dicens: Magnus es Domine, Deus Danielis, et extraxit eum de lacu leonum. Tunc rex ait: paveant habitantes :universam terram Deum Danielis, quia ipse est salvator et liberator, faciens mirabilia in coelo et in terra, qui liberavit Danielem de lacu leonum. (Daniel 14;39b-40, 42)
