Verse 1
God of Daniel, hear my prayer,
And let thy power be seen,
Stop the lion’s mouth, and bear
Me safe out of his den:
Save me in this dreadful hour;
Earth, and hell, and nature join,
All stand ready to devour
This helpless soul of mine.

Verse 2
No way to escape I see
The sure-approaching death,
Vain are all my hopes to flee
Out of the lion’s teeth;
In the mire of sin I lie,
In the dungeon of despair,
Hear my lamentable cry,
O God of Daniel, hear.

Verse 3
Thee I serve, my Lord, my God,
In me thy power display,
Save me, save me, and defraud
The lion of his prey;
Angel of the covenant,
Jesus mighty to retrieve,
Let him to my help be sent:
In Jesus I believe.

Verse 4
Save me for thine own great name,
That all the world may know,
Daniel’s God is still the same,
And reigns supreme below:
Him let all mankind adore;
Spread his glorious name abroad,
Tremble all, and bow before
The great, the living God.

Verse 5
Absolute, unchangeable
O’er all his works he reigns,
His dominion cannot fail,
But undisturb’d remains:
His dominion standeth fast,
Is, when time no more shall be,
Still shall his dominion last
Thro’ all eternity.

Verse 6
He delivers by his love,
He rescues souls from death,
Signs he works in heaven above,
And signs in earth beneath;
Daniel he doth every hour
From the lion’s paw retrieve,
I am sav’d from Satan’s power,
And lo! By grace I live.
