Edith G. Cherry
Verse 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
Verse 2
Yes, 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
Verse 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.”
Verse 4
We rest on Thee, our Shield and our Defender!
Thine is the battle, Thine shall be the praise
When passing through the gates of pearly splendor
Victors, we rest with Thee, through endless days
