Is thy God…able to deliver thee from the lions? (Dan. 6:20)

Thou servant of the living God,
Whilst lions round thee roar,
Look up and trust and praise His Name,
And all His ways adore;
For even now, in peril dire,
He works to set thee free,
And in a way known but to Him,
Shall thy deliverance be.

Dost wait while lions round thee stand?
 Dost wait in gloom, alone,
And looking up above thy head
See but a sealed stone?
Praise in the dark!
Yea, praise His Name,
Who trusted thee to see
His mighty power displayed again
For thee, His saints, for thee.

Thou servant of the living God,
Thine but to wait and praise;
The living God, Himself, will work,
To Him thine anthem raise;
Though undelivered thou dost wait,
The God who works for thee,
When His hour strikes,
will with a word Set thee forever free.
M. E. B.

“Believe ye that I am able to do this?”
“Yea, Lord.”

Strengthen yourself in the Omnipotence of God.
Do not say, “Is God able?” Say, rather, “God is able.”
