Dare to Be a Daniel (Burk)

There’s a con­flict rag­ing

all the world en­gag­ing

’Tis the age long bat­tle twixt the right and wrong;

And like faith­ful Da­ni­el

thru the great Em­ma­nu­el

We may win by be­ing firm and true and strong.

Dare to be a Da­ni­el true and ho­ly

In the dai­ly con­flict with blight­ing sin;

When your heart is tried and tempt­ed sore­ly

Dare to be a Da­ni­el

and you will win.

Not in one day’s fight­ing

all our strength unit­ing

Can we gain the great and fi­nal vic­to­ry;

We need con­stant choos­ing

all our cour­age us­ing

Trusting whol­ly in the cross of Cal­va­ry.

Courage

then

my bro­ther

help­ing one ano­ther

We must press the bat­tle ev­er on and on;

We must stand like Da­ni­el

firm and strong like Da­ni­el

Till the foe’s de­feat­ed and the vic­to­ry’s won.
