Text: | Yield Not to Temptation |
Author: | H. R. P. |
Tune: | PALMER |
Composer: | Horatio Richmond Palmer, 1834-1907 |
1 Yield not to temptation,
For yielding is sin;
Each vict’ry will help you
Some other to win;
Fight manfully* onward,
Evil 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 rev’rence,
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,
Tho' often cast down;
He who is our Savior,
Our strength will renew;
Look ever to Jesus,
He'll carry you through. [Refrain]
* "valiantly" may be substituted for "manfully"
** "those" may be substituted for "him"
