My life is hid with Christ in God,
Pre¤served with¤in that sure re¤treat;
Though Sa¤tan rage a¤gainst my soul,
I wor¤ship at my Sav¤iour’s feet.

Chorus:
No foes can reach that se¤cret place
Where hides my soul safe in His care;
His pres¤ence, like a wall of fire,
Is round a¤bout me eve¤ry¤where.

The fier¤y darts which Sa¤tan hurls,
Temp¤ta¤tions pain¤ful and se¤vere,
No more my trem¤bling soul ap¤pal:
I know the Lord of Hosts is near.

Though fierce the con¤flict here be¤low,
With hosts of sin by Sa¤tan led,
The God of Truth will fa¤vour me
And bruise the fier¤y ser¤pent’s head.

I rest in God’s un¤chang¤ing love;
His peace now reigns with¤in my heart;
O¤be¤dient to the Spir¤it’s voice,
I dai¤ly choose the bet¤ter part.

Though oft in¤firm¤i¤ties lie sore
Up¤on this toil¤worn, wea¤ry frame,
The power of Christ is rest¤ing there,
And I re¤vere His Ho¤ly name.
