Author: Philip P. Bliss, 1813-1876 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #486 (1957) First Line: Standing by a purpose true Lyrics: 1 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!
2 Many mighty men are lost,
Daring not to stand,
Who for God had been a host
By joining Daniel's Band. (Refrain)
3 Many giants, great and tall,
Stalking thro' the land,
Headlong to the earth would fall,
If met by Daniel's Band. (Refrain)
4 Hold the gospel banner high;
On to vict'ry grand!
Satan and his host defy,
And shout for Daniel's Band. (Refrain) Topics: Children's Hymns; Special Subjects and Occasions Childhood Languages: English Tune Title: [Standing by a purpose true]
