| 1. We rest on Thee, our shield and our defender
 We go not forth
 alone against the foe
 Strong in Thy might,
 safe in Thy keeping tender
 We rest on Thee,
 and in Thy name we go
 Chorus 1: 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,
 our king of love
 2. 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 pleading
 We rest on Thee
 and in Thy name we go
 Chorus 2: 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,
 Through endless days
 (Repeat verse 1)
 (Repeat chorus 1)
