15416. Yield Not To The Tempter

1 Yield not to the tempter, tho’ bold he may be;
The sword of the Spirit will cause him to flee;
The grace of your Savior, His wisdom and power
Are able to save you in each trying hour.

Refrain:
Yield not! yield not! for God can make you stand;
Yield not! yield not! He’ll hold you by the hand;
Yield not! yield not! the blessèd Savior came
To give you victory, all glory to His name!

2 Yield not to the tempter, tho’ hidden the snare;
The Lord will protect you in answer to prayer;
List not to the whisper that leads you astray;
From evil inducements turn quickly away. [Refrain]

3 Yield not to the tempter, be strong in the Lord;
How rich is His promise, how grand the reward;
For all who are faithful, and triumph by grace
Will find in His kingdom a crown and a place. [Refrain]
