Christ in Song 55
Yield Not to Temptation
Words: H. R. PalmerMusic: H. R. Palmer
1Yield not to temp ta tion, For yielding is sin,
Each vic t'ry will help you, Some other to win;
Fight man fully on-ward, Dark pas sions sub-due,
Look ev er to Je sus, He'll car ry you through.
RefrainAsk the Sav iour to help you, Com fort, strengthen, and keep you;
He is will ing to aid you, He will car ry you through.
2Shun e vil com pan ions, Bad lan guage dis dain,
God's name hold in rev'rence, Nor take it in vain;
Be thought ful and ear nest, Kind heart ed and true,
Look ev er to Je sus, He'll car ry you through.
3To him that o'er com eth, God giv eth a crown,
Thro' faith we shall con quer, Tho' oft en cast down;
He who is our Sav iour, Our strength will re new,
Look ev er to Je sus, He'll car ry you through.
