"We rest on Thee" our Shield and our Defender!
          C7           Bb         F
We go not forth alone against the foe;
              Dm             Am             Gm
Strong in Thy strength, safe in Thy keeping tender,
            F/C       C7             A
"We rest on Thee, and in Thy Name we go,"
              Dm             Am             Gm
Strong in Thy strength, safe in Thy keeping tender,
            F/C       C7             F
"We rest on Thee, and in Thy Name we go,"


F           C7               Bb    C F
Yea "in Thy Name," O Captain of salvation!
            C7              Bb     F
In Thy dear Name, all other names above;
          Dm       Am                 Gm
Jesus our Righteousness, our sure foundation,
              F/C   C7              A
Our Prince of glory and our King of love,
          Dm       Am                 Gm
Jesus our Righteousness, our sure foundation,
              F/C   C7              F
Our Prince of glory and our King of love,


F          C7                   Bb       C  F
"We go" in faith, our own great weakness feeling,
            C7                Bb       F
And needing more each day Thy grace to know:
             Dm       Am              Gm
Yet from our hearts a song of triumph pealing;
            F/C      C7             A
"We rest on Thee and in Thy Name we go"
             Dm       Am              Gm
Yet from our hearts a song of triumph pealing;
            F/C      C7             F
"We rest on Thee and in Thy Name we go"


F           C7                   Bb    C  F
"We rest on Thee" our Shield and our Defender!
             C7                  Bb     F
Thine is the battle, Thine shall be the praise
             Dm          Am              Gm
When passing through the gates of pearly splendor
           F/C       C7                    A
Victors we rest with Thee, through endless days,
             Dm          Am              Gm
When passing through the gates of pearly splendor
           F/C       C7                    F
Victors we rest with Thee, through endless days,
