The '''Prayer of [[Azariah]] and the Prayer of the [[Three Holy Children]],''' omitted from [[Protestantism|Protestant]] [[Bible]]s as an [[apocrypha]]l addition, is a lengthy passage in ''[[Book of Daniel|Daniel]]'' 3, that would come between verses 23 and 24 in Protestant Bibles. This addition contains the prayer of Azariah (Abednego in Babylonian; see Daniel 1:6-7) while the three youths were in the fiery furnace, a brief account of the [[angel]] who met them in the furnace, and the hymn of praise they sang when they realized they were delivered. These sections are retained in the [[Septuagint]] and in the [[Orthodox Church|Eastern Orthodox]] and [[Roman Catholic Church|Roman Catholic]] Biblical canon; the "Song of the Three Holy Youths" is part of the hymn called a [[canon]] sung during the [[Matins]] and other services in Orthodoxy; and it can be found in the [[Church of England]] Book of Common Prayer as the canticle ''Benedicite omnia Opera''.
