Hymntime :
 
YIELD NOT TO TEMPTATION
 
Yield not to temptation, for yielding is sin;
Each victory will help you some other to win;
Fight manfully onward, dark passions subdue,
Look ever to Jesus, He’ll 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 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.

Refrain

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.

Refrain

In The Spirit of Our Mind

Many trials come with lessons

From which we can learn

Helping us to be wiser

And better to discern…

Wrong from right

Good from bad

What to lose

What to keep-

Preparing us

Continually…

Renewing us

Perfectly

In the

Spirit

of our

Mind.
