Daniel was a man of prayer;
(Pretend praying)
Daily prayed he three times,
(Hold up three fingers)
Even when they cast him down
(Point down)
In a den of lions.

Chorus:
Even then, in the den,
Fear could not alarm him;
(Hold hands up in alarm)
God just shut the lions' mouths,
(Close hands, as mouth)
So they could not harm him.

In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries. Go to person page >
