Yield Not to the Tempter

E. E. Hewitt • English

Primary Scripture: Joshua 1:9

Verse 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.

Chorus

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 blessed savior came To give you victory, all glory to His name!

Verse 2

Yield not to the tempter, tho’ hidden the snare, The Lord will protect you in answer to prayer; List no to the whisper that leads you astray, From evil inducements turn quickly away.

Chorus

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 blessed savior came To give you victory, all glory to His name!

Verse 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.

Chorus

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 blessed savior came To give you victory, all glory to His name!
