According to http://www.cyberhymnal.org/htm/d/a/daretobe.htm the “Dare to be a Daniel” chorus comes from an 1873 song written by Philip P Bliss for his Sunday School Class at the First Con­gre­ga­tion­al Church of Chi­ca­go, Il­li­nois.

Dare to be a Daniel

Dare to stand alone

Dare to have a purpose firm

Dare to have it known!

The Bible character Daniel that inspired these words had to go it alone, but it is good to know that these days none of us ever need stand or walk alone.
