Fire-starter Hymn Meditation

He is our shield and defender. May this song be a blessing to you as you listen to it.

We Rest On Thee

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;

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,

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”;

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 splendor,

victors, we rest with thee, through endless days;

when passing through the gates of pearly splendor,

victors, we rest with thee, through endless days.
