370. Yield Not to Temptation

11.11.11.12.
1
Yield not to temptation,
 
For yielding is sin;
 
Each victory will help you
 
Some other to win;
 
Fight prayerfully onward,
 
Dark passions subdue;
 
Look ever to Jesus,
 
He will carry you through.
 
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 reverence — 
 
Don’t take it in vain;
 
Be thoughtful and earnest,
 
Kindhearted and true;
 
Look ever to Jesus,
 
He will carry you through.
3
To him that o’ercometh
 
God giveth a crown;
 
Through faith we shall conquer,
 
Though often cast down;
 
He who is our Savior
 
Our strength will renew;
 
Look ever to Jesus,
 
He will carry you through.
