Lyrics
Rest, O child of God
Find peace, O child chosen by God
Oh, Rest, O child of God
Reiterates the call for rest and peace for the chosen child of God
The Lord will hold you
Assurance that God will support and protect
It's Him you hold onto
Encouragement to trust and rely on God
No terror by night shall come over you
Promising protection from fear and harm during the night
So rest, O child of God
Reiteration of the call to find peace in being a child of God
If ten thousand fall at your side
Even in the face of great challenges, the child of God should not be afraid
You won't fear at all
Confidence that fear will not overcome, as God is the protector
'Cause He holds you
God's continuous support and embrace of the believer
He holds your life
Emphasis on God's role in safeguarding the believer's life
Who can stand?
Rhetorical question emphasizing the invincibility of the believer
Who can stand against you?
Affirmation that there is no force that can oppose the believer
cgainst you
Repetition for emphasis
The Lord will hold you
Reassurance of God's continuous support and protection
It's Him you hold onto
Encouragement to maintain trust and reliance on God
No terror by night will come O child of God
Promise that no night terror will disturb the child of God
Rest
Final call for rest, underscoring the theme of finding peace in God
Rest
Reiteration of the concluding call for rest
