Yield not to temptation,

by Horatio Richmond Palmer

Representative text

As printed in The Church Hymnal (1941), no. 498 — the newest hymnal carrying it.

Verse 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'll 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 through.

Verse 2

Shun evil companions, Bad language disdain, God's name hold in reverence, Nor take it in vain; Be thoughtful and earnest, Kindhearted and true, Look ever to Jesus, He'll carry you through.

Verse 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'll carry you through.
