Lyics

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.



CHO.-Ask the Saviour 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 rev'rence

Nor take it in vain;



Be thoughtful and earnest,

Kind-hearted and true,

Look ever to Jesus:

He'll carry you through.



To him that o'ercometh

God giveth a crown;

Through faith we shall conquer,

Though often cast down;

He who is our Saviour

Our strength will renew:

Look ever to Jesus:

He'll carry you through.
