Yield Not to the Tempter (Hewitt)

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.

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.

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.
