The Cyber Hymnal ‎#613

613. Brave Daniel

1. With the window open wide,
And the foe so near,
Daniel bows before his God,
Without doubt or fear.

Refrain
Brave Daniel! brave Daniel!
Ever good and true;
If, like him, to God we’re faithful,
He’ll bring us safely through.

2. Hark! the voice of prayer and praise,
Full of joy and peace;
King’s decree and lion’s den
Cannot make it cease! [Refrain]

3. In the lion’s den, behold,
Daniel sweetly sleeps;
While the guardian angel there,
Holy vigil keeps. [Refrain]

4. God is watching o’er His own,
With all-seeing eye;
Vainly foes against them rage;
They but rage—and die. [Refrain]
