[Verse 1] And at that time shall Michael stand up, The great prince which standeth for thy people, There shall be a time of trouble, Such as never was since there was a nation. And at that time thy people shall be delivered, Every one found written in the book, And many that sleep in the dust shall awake, Some to everlasting life. [Pre-Chorus] But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, And seal the book even to the time of the end, Many shall run to and fro, And knowledge shall be increased. [Chorus] And they that be wise shall shine, As the brightness of the firmament, And they that turn many to righteousness, As the stars for ever and ever. They that be wise shall shine, As the brightness of the firmament, As the stars, as the stars, For ever and ever. [Verse 2] And I heard, but I understood not, Then said I, O my Lord, What shall be the end of these things? What shall be the end of these things? And he said, Go thy way, Daniel, For the words are closed up and sealed, Many shall be purified, And made white, and tried. [Pre-Chorus] But the wicked shall do wickedly, And none of the wicked shall understand, But the wise shall understand, But the wise shall understand. [Chorus] And they that be wise shall shine, As the brightness of the firmament, And they that turn many to righteousness, As the stars for ever and ever. They that be wise shall shine, As the brightness of the firmament, As the stars, as the stars, For ever and ever. [Bridge] Blessed is he that waiteth, And cometh to the thousand three hundred And five and thirty days. Blessed is he that waiteth, Blessed is he that waiteth. [Final Chorus] And they that be wise shall shine, As the brightness of the firmament, And they that turn many to righteousness, As the stars for ever and ever. [Outro] But go thou thy way till the end be: For thou shalt rest, And stand in thy lot At the end of the days.
