Verse 1

Yield not to temp ta tion, For yielding is sin, Each vic t'ry will help you, Some other to win; Fight man fully onward, Dark pas sions subdue, Look ev er to Je sus, He'll car ry you through.

Refrain

Ask the Sav iour to help you, Com fort, strengthen, and keep you; He is will ing to aid you, He will car ry you through.

Verse 2

Shun e vil com pan ions, Bad lan guage dis dain, God's name hold in rev'rence, Nor take it in vain; Be thought ful and ear nest, Kind heart ed and true, Look ev er to Je sus, He'll car ry you through.

Verse 3

To him that o'er com eth, God giv eth a crown, Thro' faith we shall con quer, Tho' oft en cast down; He who is our Sav iour, Our strength will re new, Look ev er to Je sus, He'll car ry you through.
