11.10.11.10.

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 passing through the gates of pearly splendour,

Victors, we rest with Thee, through endless days.
