Yield Not to the Tempter (French)

Yield not to the tempt­er;

Pass by

and be free;

For yield­ing is ru­in

And sor­row for thee;

Why should you now bar­ter

The jew­el of youth

With shame for your hon­or

And wrong for the truth?

Yield not to the tempt­er;

Pass by

and be free;

For yield­ing is ru­in

And sor­row for thee.

Yield not to the tempt­er;

Turn quick­ly away;

Go

min­gle with hon­or

In life’s bu­sy fray;

Fall not from your sta­tion

Whatever it be;

Keep clear from the dan­ger

That beck­ons to thee.

Yield not to the tempt­er;

Be firm and be true;

And God

in your weak­ness

Your strength shall re­new;

To Him your pe­ti­tion

Send up­ward again

That you may be ev­er

A man among men.
