Stand for God and Right

See the cap­tive Da­ni­el

Kneeling at his pray­er

Fearless of the king’s de­cree;

True to God and con­sci­ence

Strong to do and dare

Heeding not the tempt­er’s plea.

Trusting in His might

Stand for God and right

Fearless of the world’s de­cree;

Be loyal and true

in what­ev­er you do

In the serv­ice of the Lord be free!

Death and tor­ture threat­ened

In the li­on’s den

All who dared to of­fer pray­er;

’Twas a heath­en man­date

Governed con­sci­ence then—

Daniel stood

a he­ro there!

’Mid the roar­ing li­ons

Daniel stood se­rene

For the King of kings was there;

Thus the great De­liv’rer

Watches near

un­seen

All who brav­ely do and dare.

By the pro­phet’s side God’s

Angel stayed that night—

Never did he flinch or yield;

Thus this daunt­less he­ro

True to God and right

Did a ho­ly in­flu­ence wield.
