1 Yield not to temptation, For yielding is sin; Each vict’ry will help you, Some other to win; Fight, still pressing onward, Dark passions subdue;
Refrain: 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 rev’rence, Nor take it in vain; Be thoughtful and earnest, Kind-hearted and true; [Refrain]
3 To him that o’ercometh, God giveth a crown; Through faith we will conquer, Though often cast down; He who is our savior, Our strength will renew; [Refrain]
