The New Christian Hymnal ‎#404

404. 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, Dark passions subdue;
Look ever to Jesus, He'll 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.

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'll carry you through. [Chorus]

3. To him that o'ercometh, God giveth a crown;
Thro' faith we will conquer, Tho' often cast down;
He who is our Savior, Our strength will renew;
Look ever to Jesus, He'll carry you through. [Chorus]
