1 

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.

 2 

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.

 3 

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.

 4 

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.
