Daniel


Join this HeartCry Prayer - Every Monday, Tuesdaay, Wednesday and Friday 11:30am - 1:30pm (UK time)

Daniel
(Daniel 6. tune: “Thou Shepherd of Israel”)

1. Daniel God’s greatly beloved
Committed unto his God
Babylon or Medo-Persia
In him no fault ever was got.

2. King Darius the Median loved him
And set him above in the realm
In Daniel man of trust and hope
The Spirit of excellence abode.

3. God’s enemies hated him
And sought against him a fault
But Daniel stood above them all
They plotted an evil in their hearts.

4. “King Darius live forever
A royal decree thou must make,
Whoso calls on a God save thee
Must be thrown into the lion’s den”

5. Brave Daniel went into his house
On his knees, windows opened
Prayed to his God as before
And got into trouble with the king.

6. Into lions den was thrown
His friend the king could not sleep
Rose early called on Daniel
“Oh Daniel did your God perform?”

7. “King Darius my great God performed
His angels shut the lions’ mouths
No scratch nor wound is found on me
My God made your lions to behave!”

8. Who will dare to be a Daniel?
Upright in the very face of harm
Trusting their God like Daniel
To perform as He always has done.
