That Wicked One Toucheth Him Not (#196) | Charles W. Naylor, 1911
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.
Refrain:
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.
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.
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.
