Author: H. R. P. Hymnal: Minnetonka Songs #82 (1879) Refrain First Line: Ask the Savior to help you Lyrics: 1 Yield not to temptation,
For weakness is sin,
Each vict’ry will help us
Some other to win.
Fight manfully onward,
Dark passions subdue,
Look ever to Jesus,
He'll carry you through.
Chorus:
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,
Kind-hearted and true,
Look ever to Jesus,
He'll carry you through. [Chorus]
3 To him that o’ercometh
God giveth a crown,
Thro' faith we shall conquer,
Tho' often cast down,
He who is the Savior,
Our strength will renew,
Look ever to Jesus,
He'll carry you through. [Chorus]
