847. Standing by a purpose true

1 Standing by a purpose true,
Heeding God’s command,
Honour 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.

3 Many giants, great and tall,
Stalking through the land,
Headlong to the earth would fall
If met by Daniel’s band.

4 Hold the gospel banner high;
On to victory grand;
Satan and his host defy
And shout for Daniel’s band.
