E. G. Cherry (370/413) -- Hymns and Spiritual Songs

E. G. Cherry 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.
