Subject: Didn't My Lord Deliver Daniel

No. 10. Didn't My Lord Deliver Daniel

Chorus: (Sung in Unison)

Didn't my Lord deliver Daniel,
D'liver Daniel, d'liver Daniel,
Didn't my Lord deliver Daniel,
And why not every man?

1
He deliver'd Daniel from the lion's den,
Jonah from the belly of the whale,
And the Hebrew children from the fiery furnace,
And why not every man?
*
Didn't my Lord deliver Daniel,
D'liver Daniel, d'liver Daniel,
Didn't my Lord deliver Daniel,
And why not every man?
2
The moon run down in a purple stream,
The sun forbear to shine,
And every star disappear,
King Jesus shall be mine.
Didn't etc.
3
The wind blows East, and the wind blows West,
It blows like the judgement day,
And every poor soul that never did pray
'll be glad to pray that day.
Didn't etc.
4
I set my foot on the Gospel ship,
And the ship it begin to sail,
It landed me over on Canaan's shore,
And I'll never come back any more.
Didn't etc.

*Go on without pause, leaving out two beats of the measure.
