• [Dan 1:8] Dare To Be A Daniel

  Standing by a purpose true, Heeding God’s command, Honor them, the faithful few! All hail to Daniel’s band! Refrain Dare to be a Daniel, Dare to stand alone! Dare to have a purpose firm! Dare to make it known. Many mighty men are lost Daring not to stand, Who for God had been a host By joining Daniel’s band. Refrain Many giants, great and tall, Stalking through the land, Headlong to the earth would fall, If met by Daniel’s band. Refrain Hold the Gospel banner high! On to vict’ry grand! Satan and his hosts defy, And shout for Daniel’s band. Refrain

• [Dan 2:20] O Lord, We Praise Thee

  O Lord, we praise Thee, bless Thee, and adore Thee, In thanksgiving bow before Thee. Thou with Thy body and Thy blood didst nourish Our weak souls that they may flourish. O Lord, have mercy! May Thy body, Lord, born of Mary That our sins and sorrow did carry, And Thy blood for us plead in all trial, fear and need: O Lord, have mercy! Thy holy body into death was given, Life to win for us in heaven. No greater love than this to Thee could bind us; May this feast thereof remind us! O Lord, have mercy! Lord, Thy kindness did so constrain Thee That Thy blood should bless and sustain me. All our debt Thou hast paid; peace with God once more is made: O Lord, have mercy! May God bestow on us His grace and favor To please Him with our behavior And live as brethren here in love and union Nor repent this blessed Communion! O Lord, have mercy! Let not Thy good Spirit forsake us; Grant that heavenly minded He make us; Give Thy church, Lord, to see days of peace and unity; O Lord, have mercy!

• [Dan 2:23] My God, I Thank Thee

  My God, I thank Thee, who hast made The earth so bright, So full of splendor and of joy, Beauty and light; So many glorious things are here, Noble and right. I thank Thee, too, that Thou hast made Joy to abound; So many gentle thoughts and deeds Circling us round, That in the darkest spot of earth Some love is found. I thank Thee more that all our joy Is touched with pain, That shadows fall on brightest hours, That thorns remain; So that earth’s bliss may be our guide, And not our chain. For thou who knowest, Lord, how soon Our weak heart clings, Hast given us joys, tender and true, Yet all with wings; So that we see gleaming on high Diviner things. I thank Thee, Lord, that Thou hast kept The best in store; We have enough, yet not too much To long for more: A yearning for a deeper peace Not known before. I thank Thee, Lord, that here our souls Though amply blessed, Can never find, although they seek A perfect rest; Nor ever shall, until they lean On Jesus’ breast.

• [Dan 2:31] Look For The Waymarks

  Look for the way-marks as you journey on, Look for the way-marks passing one by one; Down through the ages, past the kingdoms four— Where are we standing? Look the way-marks o’er. Refrain Look for the way-marks, the great prophetic way-marks, Down through the ages, past the kingdoms four. Look for the way-marks, the great prophetic way-marks; The journey’s almost o’er. First, the Assyrian kingdom ruled the world, Then Medo-Persia’s banners were unfurled; And after Greece held universal sway, Rome seized the scepter—where are we today? Refrain Down in the feet of iron and of clay, Weak and divided, soon to pass away; What will the next great, glorious drama be? Christ and His coming, and eternity. Refrain

• [Dan 2:47] O God Of God

  O God of God! O Light of Light! Thou Prince of Peace, Thou King of kings, To Thee, where angels know no night, The song of praise forever rings: To Him Who sits upon the throne, The Lamb once slain for sinful men, Be honor, might, all by Him won, Glory and praise! Amen! Amen! Deep in the prophets’ sacred page, Grand in the poets’ wingèd word, Slowly in type, from age to age, Nations beheld their coming Lord; Till through the deep Judean night Rang out the song, “Good will to men!” Hymned by the first born sons of light, Re-echoed now, “Good will!” Amen. That life of truth, those deeds of love, That death of pain ’mid hate and scorn, These all are past, and now above He reigns our King, once crowned with thorn. Lift up your heads, ye heav’nly gates, So sang His hosts, unheard by men; Lift up your heads, for you He waits, We lift them up! Amen, Amen. Nations afar, in ignorance deep, Isles of the sea, where darkness lay, These hear His voice, they wake from sleep, And throng with joy the upward way. They cry with us, “Send forth Thy light, O Lamb, once slain for sinful men; Burst Satan’s bonds, O God of might; Set all men free!” Amen, Amen. Sing to the Lord a glorious song, Sing to His Name, His love forth tell; Sing on, Heav’n’s hosts, His praise prolong; Sing ye who now in earth do dwell, Worthy the Lamb for sinners slain; From angels, praise; and thanks from men; Worthy the Lamb, enthroned to reign, Glory and power! Amen, Amen!

• [Dan 3:6] Supported By The Word

  Supported by the Word, Though in himself a worm, The servant of the Lord Can wondrous acts perform: Without dismay he boldly treads Where’er the path of duty leads. The haughty king in vain, With fury on his brow, Believers would constrain To golden gods to bow: The furnace could not make them fear, Because they knew the Lord was near. As vain was the decree Which charged them not to pray; Daniel still bowed his knee, And worshiped thrice a day: Trusting in God, he feared not men, Though threatened with the lion’s den. Secure they might refuse Compliance with such laws, For what had they to lose, When God espoused their cause? He made the hungry lions crouch, Nor durst the fire His children touch. The Lord is still the same, A mighty shield and tow’r, And they who trust His Name Are guarded by His pow’r: He can the rage of lions tame, And bear them harmless through the flame. Yet we too often shrink When trials are in view; Expecting we must sink, And never can get through. But could we once believe indeed, From all these fears we should be freed.

• [Dan 3:17] He Is Able To Deliver Thee

  ’Tis the grandest theme through the ages rung; ’Tis the grandest theme for a mortal tongue; ’Tis the grandest theme that the world e’er sung, “Our God is able to deliver thee.” Refrain He is able to deliver thee, He is able to deliver thee; Though by sin oppressed, go to Him for rest; “Our God is able to deliver thee.” ’Tis the grandest theme in the earth or main; ’Tis the grandest theme for a mortal strain; ’Tis the grandest theme, tell the world again, “Our God is able to deliver thee.” Refrain ’Tis the grandest theme, let the tidings roll, To the guilty heart, to the sinful soul; Look to God in faith, He will make thee whole, “Our God is able to deliver thee.” Refrain

• [Dan 3:17] He’s Able And Willing

  A sinner more wretched than I, There could not be; ’Till Jesus the mighty, came nigh, To set me free, I opened my heart to His call, His own to be, And when I surrendered all, My Lord saved me. Refrain He’s able and willing to save, Able, willing, He’s able and willing to save, For He saved me. His power no limit can know, His grace is mine; His love He is willing to show, ’Tis love divine; His mercy is offered today, So full, so free, He’ll never turn you away, For He saved me. Refrain He’s able and willing to go O’er mountains steep, Or down in the valley so low, Or stormy deep: If willing His bidding to do, His own you’ll be, I know He can keep you true, For He keeps me.

• [Dan 3:25] The Bloodwashed Pilgrim

  I saw a wayworn traveler, in tattered garments clad, And struggling up the mountain, it seemed that he was sad; His back was laden heavy, his strength was almost gone, Yet he shouted as he journeyed, “Deliverance will come!” Refrain Then palms of victory, crowns of glory, Palms of victory I shall wear. The summer sun was shining, the sweat was on his brow, His garments worn and dusty, his step seemed very slow; But he kept pressing onward, for he was wending home, Still shouting as he journeyed, “Deliverance will come!” Refrain The songsters in the arbor that stood beside the way Attracted his attention, inviting his delay: His watchword being “Onward!” he stopped his ears and ran, Still shouting as he journeyed, “Deliverance will come!” Refrain I saw him in the evening; the sun was bending low; He’d overtopped the mountain, and reached the vale below: He saw the Golden City—his everlasting home— And shouted loud, “Hosanna! Deliverance will come!” Refrain While gazing on that city, just o’er the narrow flood, A band of holy angels came from the throne of God; They bore him on their pinions safe o’er the dashing foam, And joined him in his triumph: Deliverance had come! Refrain I heard the song of triumph they sang upon that shore, Saying, “Jesus has redeemed us to suffer nevermore!” Then casting his eyes backward on the race which he had run, He shouted loud, “Hosanna! Deliverance has come!” Refrain I saw a blood washed pilgrim, a sinner saved by grace, Upon the King’s highway, with peaceful, shining face; Temptations sore beset him, but nothing could afright; He said, “The yoke is easy, the burden, it is light.” Refrain Then palms of victory, crowns of glory, Palms of victory I shall wear. His helmet was salvation, a simple faith his shield, And righteousness his breastplate, the spirit’s sword he’d wield. All fiery darts arrested, and quenched their blazing flight; He cried “The yoke is easy, the burden, it is light.” Refrain I saw him in the furnace; he doubted not, nor feared, And in the flames beside him, the Son of God appeared; Though seven times ’twas heated, with all the tempter’s might, He cried, “The yoke is easy, the burden, it is light.” Refrain ’Mid storms, and clouds, and trials, in prison, at the stake, He leaped for joy, rejoicing, ’twas all for Jesus’ sake; That God should count him worthy, was such supreme delight, He cried, “The yoke is easy, the burden, is so light.” Refrain I saw him overcoming, through all the swelling strife, Until he crossed the threshold of God’s eternal life; The crown, the throne, the scepter, the name, the stone so white, Were his, who found, in Jesus, the yoke and burden light.
