Program note
The text of this fervent spiritual has undergone many changes during its passage from generation to generation and place to place. This is only one version of it. The figures of Jonah, Daniel and Noah each symbolise freedom and deliverance from slavery.


Jonah prayed from the fish’s belly
Amen
Save me from sin’s rolling billows
Amen
Daniel prayed from the lion’s jaws
Amen
Save me from sin’s stinking sores
Amen
Noah prayed from the raging flood
Amen
Save us by thy precious blood
Amen

Daniel in the den
Noah in the ark
Jonah in the belly of the whale

He locked the lion’s jaw
Gave the rainbow sign
Threw up Jonah on the dry land

Credits The Belly of the Whale was written as a gift for John Currie and the John Currie Singers in 1997. It was first performed in Glasgow on 20 February 1997.
