Verse 2

Some men trust in chariots, and some trust in the horse

But we will depend upon the name of Christ our Lord

The Lord has made my hands to war and my fingers to fight

The Lord lays low our enemies, but raises us upright

He raises us upright

Chorus 2

For the Lord is our defense

Jesu defend us

For the Lord is our defense

Jesu defend

Verse 3

A thousand fall on my left hand, ten thousand to the right

Yet He will defend us from the arrow in the night

Protect us from the terrors of the teeth of the devour'r

Imbue us with Your Spirit, Lord, encompass us with pow'r

Encompass us with pow'r

Chorus 3

For the Lord is our defense

Jesu defend us

For the Lord is our defense

Jesu defend
