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.
