Yield Not to Temptation

Horatio Richmond Palmer, 1868

Yield not to temptation, for yielding is sin;

Each victory will help you or some others to win;

Fight manfully onward, dark passions subdue;

Look ever to Jesus, and He will carry you through.

Refrain:

Ask the Savior to help you,

Comfort, strengthen and keep you;

He is willing to aid you,

He will carry you through.

Shun evil companions, bad language distain;

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.
