Author: Horatio R. Palmer, 1834-1907 Hymnal: Lead Me, Guide Me (2nd ed.) #770 (2012) Meter: 6.5.6.5.6.6.6.6 with refrain Refrain First Line: Look ever to Jesus Lyrics: 1 Yield not to temptation,
For yielding is sin;
Each vict’ry will help you,
Some other to win;
Fight valiantly onward,
Evil passions subdue;
Look ever to Jesus,
He will 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 will 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 will carry you through. [Refrain] Topics: Penance Sacraments; Comfort; Faith; Guidance; Holiness; Redemption; Sickness; Sin; Temptation; Victory over Sin and Death Scripture: Deuteronomy 5:11 Languages: English Tune Title: YIELD NOT
