HYMN: Yield not to temptation | Ma f’ara fun ‘danwo, nitor’ ese ni

ENGLISH LYRICS: Yield not to temptation

Neither give place to the devil. Eph. 4:27

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,

Chorus:
   Ask the Saviour 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, not take it in vain,
   Be thoughtful and earnest, kind hearted and true,
   Look ever to Jesus, He'll carry you through.

3. To him that o'er cometh, God giveth a crown.
   Through faith we shall conquer,
   though often cast down,
   He who is our Saviour, our strength will renew
   Look ever to Jesus, He'll carry you through.
 
Amen.

YORUBA LYRICS: Ma f’ara fun ‘danwo, nitor’ ese ni

E ma si se fi aye fun esu. Efe. 4:27 

1. Ma f’ara fun ‘danwo, nitor’ ese ni,
   Isegun kan yo tun fun O l’agbara;
   Ja bi okunrin, si bori ‘fekufe,
   Sa tejumo Jesu, y’O mu o laja.

Bere ‘ranwo at’agbara lodo Olugbala, 
O se tan fun iranwo, Oun y’O mu o la ja 

2. Ma kegbe buburu, ma soro ibi,
   Mase pe oruko Olorun l’asan;
   Je eni ti nronu at’olotito;
   Sa tejumo Jesu, y’O mu o la ja.

3. Olorun y’O f’ade f’eni t’o segun,
   Ao fi ‘gbagbo segun, b’ota nde si wa;
   Kristi y’O so agbara wa di otun,
   Sa tejumo Jesu, y’O mu o la ja.
Amin.
