 1.  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. 

 2.  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

 3.  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
