Yield Not to Temptation

H. R. Palmer (1868) • English

Primary Scripture: Deuteronomy 5:11

Verse 1

Yield not to temptation, For yielding is sin; Each vict’ry will help you, Some other to win; Fight valiantly onward, Evil passions subdue; Look ever to Jesus, He will carry you through.

Chorus

Ask the Savior to help you, Comfort, strengthen and keep you; He is willing to aid you, He will carry you through.

Verse 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 will carry you through.

Chorus

Ask the Savior to help you, Comfort, strengthen and keep you; He is willing to aid you, He will carry you through.

Verse 3

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

Chorus

Ask the Savior to help you, Comfort, strengthen and keep you; He is willing to aid you, He will carry you through.
