Author: Horatio Richmond Palmer, 1834-1907 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #567 (2010) Meter: 6.5.6.5.6.5 with refrain First Line: Yield not to temptation Lyrics: 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] Topics: General Hymns The Christian Life Languages: English Tune Title: FORTITUDE
look ever to Jesus
