Old Daniel Prayed Songtext
von The Stanley Brothers

I heard about a man one day
Who wasted not his time away
He prayed to God (He prayed to God)
Every morning, noon, and night
He cared not for the things of fame
Trusted one who never fails
Old Daniel prayed (Old Daniel prayed)
Every morning, noon, and night

Old Daniel said he would serve
God here upon this earthly trod
He prayed to God (He prayed to God)
Every morning, noon, and night
He cared not for the things of fame
Trusted God to see it through
Old Daniel prayed (Old Daniel prayed)
Every morning, noon, and night


They cast him in that lion′s den
Because he would not honor men
But he prayed to God (He prayed to God)
Every morning, noon, and night
The jaws were locked and made him shout
But God soon brought him safely out
Old Daniel prayed (Old Daniel prayed)
Every morning, noon, and night

Old Daniel said he would serve
God here upon this earthly trod
He prayed to God (He prayed to God)
Every morning, noon, and night
He cared not for the things of fame
Trusted God to see it through
Old Daniel prayed (Old Daniel prayed)
Every morning, noon, and night

Now brothers let us watch and pray
Like Daniel lived from day to day
He prayed to God (He prayed to God)
Every morning, noon, and night
We too can gladly dare and do
The things of God He'll take us through
Old Daniel prayed (Old Daniel prayed)
Every morning, noon, and night


Old Daniel said he would serve
God here upon this earthly trod
He prayed to God (He prayed to God)
Every morning, noon, and night
He cared not for the things of fame
Trusted God to see it through
Old Daniel prayed (Old Daniel prayed)
Every morning, noon, and night
