‘..And Asa cried to the Lord his God, “O Lord, there is none like you to help, between the mighty and the weak. Help us, O Lord our God, for we rely on you, and in your name we have come against this multitude.’

2 Chronicles 14v11

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 splendour,

Victors, we rest with Thee, through endless days.
