89. 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,
Evil passions subdue;
Look ever to Jesus,
He'll carry you through.

Chorus:
Ask the Saviour to help you,
Comfort, strengthen, and keep you;
He is willing to aid you,
He'll 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’er-cometh,
God giveth a crown,
Thro' faith we will conquer,
Tho' often cast down;
He who is our Saviour,
Our strength will renew;
Look ever to Jesus,
He'll carry you through. [Chorus]
