Yield not to the tempt­er, tho’ bold he may be;
The sword of the Spir­it will cause him to flee;
The grace of your Sav­ior, His wis­dom and pow­er
Are able to save you in each try­ing hour.

Refrain

Yield not! yield not! for God can make you stand;
Yield not! yield not! He’ll hold you by the hand;
Yield not! yield not! the bless­èd Sav­ior came
To give you vic­to­ry, all glo­ry to His name!

Yield not to the tempt­er, tho’ hid­den the snare;
The Lord will pro­tect you in an­swer to pray­er;
List not to the whis­per that leads you as­tray;
From ev­il in­duce­ments turn quick­ly away.

Refrain

Yield not to the tempt­er, be strong in the Lord;
How rich is His pro­mise, how grand the re­ward;
For all who are faith­ful, and tri­umph by grace
Will find in His king­dom a crown and a place.
