315. Yield Not to Temptation

1 Yield not to temptation,
For yielding is sin;
Each vict'ry will help you,
Some other to win;
Fight manfully onward,
Dark passions subdue;
Look ever to Jesus,
He'll carry you through.

Refrain:
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 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,
Though often cast down;
He who is our Saviour,
Our strength will renew;
Look ever to Jesus,
He'll carry you through. [Refrain]
