  1. 1Yield not to temptation,For yielding is sin;Each vict’ry will help youSome other to win;Fight manfully onward,Dark passions subdue,Look ever to Jesus:He will carry you thru.Ask the Savior to help you,Comfort, strengthen, and keep you;He is willing to aid you,He will carry you thru.
  2. 2Shun evil companionsBad language disdain;God’s name hold in rev’renceNor take it in vain;Be thoughtful and earnest,Kind hearted and true;Look ever to Jesus:He will carry you thru.Ask the Savior to help you,Comfort, strengthen, and keep you;He is willing to aid you,He will carry you thru.
  3. 3To him that o’ercommethGod giveth a crown;Thru faith we shall conquer,Tho’ often cast down;He, who is our Savior,Our strength will renew;Look ever to Jesus:He will carry you thru.Ask the Savior to help you,Comfort, strengthen, and keep you;He is willing to aid you,He will carry you thru.
