With the window open wide,
And the foe so near,
Daniel bows before his God,
Without doubt or fear.
Refrain
Brave Daniel! brave Daniel!
Ever good and true;
If, like him, to God we’re faithful,
He’ll bring us safely through.
Hark! the voice of prayer and praise,
Full of joy and peace;
King’s decree and lion’s den
Cannot make it cease!
Refrain
In the lion’s den, behold,
Daniel sweetly sleeps;
While the guardian angel there,
Holy vigil keeps.
Refrain
God is watching o’er His own,
With all-seeing eye;
Vainly foes against them rage;
They but rage—and die.
Refrain
