How safe is the soul
that abides in the Lord,
Securely from sin hid away;
His anchor the promise
of God’s written word,
To keep him by night and by day.
That wicked one toucheth him not,
That wicked one toucheth him not;
He keepeth himself
in the love of the Lord,
And that wicked one toucheth him not.
How firm the foundation
upon which he builds
A structure to glorify God!
How wondrous the pow’r
of the Savior that shields
From all the vile tempter’s dark flood.
That wicked one toucheth him not,
That wicked one toucheth him not;
He keepeth himself
in the love of the Lord,
And that wicked one toucheth him not.
A wall of salvation upon every side,
Strong bulwarks presents to the foe;
And in every conflict
though sorely he’s tried,
Faith’s shield will ward off every blow.
That wicked one toucheth him not,
That wicked one toucheth him not;
He keepeth himself
in the love of the Lord,
And that wicked one toucheth him not.
He trusts in the Lord
and obeys His commands,
God giveth him grace from on high
To count all things joyful
while boldly he stands,
And Jesus, his helper, is nigh.
That wicked one toucheth him not,
That wicked one toucheth him not;
He keepeth himself
in the love of the Lord,
And that wicked one toucheth him not.
