We rest on Thee, our Shield and our Defender

We rest on Thee

our Shield and our Defender;

We go not forth alone against the foe;

Strong in Thy strength

safe in Thy keeping tender.

We rest on Thee

and in Thy Name we go.

Yea

in Thy Name

O Captain of salvation!

In Thy dear Name

all other names above;

Jesus our Righteousness

our sure Foundation

Our Prince of glory and our King of love.

We go in faith

our own great weakness feeling

And needing more each day Thy grace to know:

Yet from our hearts a song of triumph pealing;

We rest on Thee

and in Thy Name we go.

We rest on Thee

our Shield and our Defender:

Thine is the battle

Thine shall be the praise

When reigning in the Kingdom of Thy splendor;

Victors

we rest with Thee

through endless days.
