The New National Baptist Hymnal (21st Century Edition) ‎#244

244. Yield Not to Temptation

1 Yield not to temptation,
For yielding is sin;
Each vict’ry will help you
Some other to win;
Fight valiantly 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 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;
Thru 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]
