African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal ‎#413

413. Yield Not to Temptation

1 Yield not to temptation,
For yielding is sin;
Each victory will help you
Some other to win;
Fight manfully onward,
Dark passions subdue;
Look ever to Jesus,
He'll carry you through.

Refrain:
Ask the Savior to help you,
Comfort, strengthen, and keep you;
He is willing to aid you,
He will carry you through.

2 Shun evil companions,
Bad language disdain,
God’s name hold in reverence,
Nor take it in vain;
Be thoughtful and earnest,
Kindhearted and true;
Look ever to Jesus,
He'll carry you through. [Refrain]

3 To him that o’ercometh
God giveth a crown,
Through faith we will conquer,
Though often cast down;
He, who is our Savior,
Our strength will renew;
Look ever to Jesus,
He'll carry you through. [Refrain]
