Standing by a purpose true    

1) Standing by a purpose true
Heeding God's command
Honour them the faithful few
All hail to Daniel's band

Ref.: Dare to be a Daniel
Dare to stand alone
Dare to have a purpose firm
Dare to make it known

2) Many mighty men are lost
Daring not to stand
Who for God had been a host
By joining Daniel's band

3) Many giants great and tall
Stalking thru the land
Headlong to the earth would fall
If met by Daniel's band

4) Hold the gospel banner high
On to vict'ry grand
Satan and his host defy
And shout for Daniel's band
