Let All the God of Daniel Praise

Let all the God of Da­ni­el praise

Almighty to re­deem

Who saves

as in the an­cient days

The men that trust in Him.

He hath the great de­liv­er­ance wrought

His an­gel sent again

And shut the li­ons’ mouths

and brought

Us up out of their den.

Give glo­ry to Eli­jah’s God

Elijah’s God and ours

Who hath around His serv­ants stood

With all His heav’n­ly powers:

Beset we were by Sa­tan’s host

In hu­man shape con­cealed;

He baf­fled their ty­ran­nic boast

And all their fu­ry quelled.

The God who saved the faith­ful three

Let ev­ery soul ad­mire;

We

too

have seen the Dei­ty

And walked un­burnt in fire:

Called down by faith

from Heav­en He came

The Son of Man we knew:

He kept us in the lam­bent flame

And strange­ly brought us through.

The floods with hor­rid dis­cord raged

And lift­ed up their voice:

Jehovah on our side en­gaged

And stilled their ang­ry noise;

His Word re­buked the swell­ing sea

Nor suf­fered it to o’er­flow

Hither pro­ceed

al­lowed by Me

But dare no fur­ther go.

Thou

Lord

be­yond their reach didst bear

And sweet­ly hide ab­ove

The ob­jects of Thy guard­ian care

And pro­vi­den­tial love:

Thou didst the ali­en host de­feat

And blast their vain de­sign

To slay

or shame­ful­ly en­treat

A mes­sen­ger of Thine.

For this with all Thy saints we praise

Thy ma­jes­ty and pow­er

And tell the won­ders of Thy grace

’Till time shall be no more.

For this in sounds of glo­ri­ous joy

We shall our Sav­ior own

And all eter­ni­ty em­ploy

In hymns around Thy throne.
