Stand Like Daniel

Representative Text

1 While to Zion we are marching,
Clad in bright array,
Holy voices urge us forward;
Hark, we hear them say:

Refrain:
Stand like Daniel,
Brave and daring,
Stand for truth and right;
Stand like Daniel,
Though against us
Legions of foes unite.

2 Stand like Daniel, firm and fearless;
Ask of God above
Abram’s faith and Jacob’s fervor,
Daniel’s trusting love. [Refrain]

3 Stand like Daniel, bear with patience
All our trials here;
Knowing this, in every danger
Aid divine is near. [Refrain]

4 Stand like Daniel, trusting ever,
Till the strife is past;
We shall triumph, God has promised
Victory at last. [Refrain]
