We Rest On You

We rest on You our Shield and our Defender
We will not go forth alone against the foe
Strong in Your strength safe in Your keeping tender
We rest on You and in Your great Name we go

Yes in Your Name our Captain of salvation
In Your dear Name all other names above
Jesus our Lord our sure and safe Foundation
Great Prince of Peace King of glory God of love

We go in faith but aware of our own weakness
More of Your grace and Your pow'r we long to know
Hear from our hearts songs of triumph and
Of meekness
We rest on You and in Your great Name we go

We rest on You our Shield and our Defender
Yours is the battle and Yours shall be the praise
And on that day when we pass through gates
Of splendour
We'll rest with You through eternal glorious days
