The Song Book of the Salvation Army ‎#823

823. Yield not to temptation, for yielding is sin

1 Yield not to temptation, for yielding is sin;
Each victory will help you some other to win.
Fight manfully onward, dark passions subdue;
Look ever to Jesus, he will 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 rhrough.

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;
Look ever to Jesus, he will carry you through.

3 To him that o’ercometh God giveth a crown;
Through faith we shall conquer though often cast down.
He who is our Saviour our strength will renew;
Look ever to Jesus, he will carry you through.
