CPWI Hymnal ‎#567

567. Yield not to temptation

1 Yield not to temptation,
for yielding is sin;
each victory will help you,
some other to win;
fight valiantly onward,
dark passions subdue;

Refrain:
look ever to Jesus,
he will carry you through.
Ask the Saviour 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,
kind-hearted and true; [Refrain]

3 To him that o’ercometh,
God giveth a crown;
through faith we will conquer,
though often cast down;
he who is our Saviour,
our strength will renew; [Refrain]
