Yield Not To Temptation

G               D7       Em              B7
Yield not to temptation, for yielding is sin;
C                 G        D7            G
Each victory will help you some other to win;
               D7              Em       B7
Fight manfully onward, dark passions subdue,
C            G      D7              G
Look ever to Jesus, He’ll carry you through.

Chorus:
G
Ask the Saviour to help you,
D7                      G
Comfort, strengthen and keep you;
C                G
He is willing to aid you,
        D7         G
He will carry you through.

Shun evil companions, bad language disdain,
God’s Name hold in reverence, nor take it in vain;
Be thoughtful and earnest, kindhearted and true,
Look ever to Jesus, He’ll carry you through.

Chorus

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’ll carry you through.
