When Sa¤tan would tempt me to ¤lin¤ger and stay,
Where sin is al¤lur¤ing, I hear a voice say,
“Yield not to the tempt¤er who ¤seeks to be¤guile,
He watch¤es your bod¤y and soul to de¤file.”

Chorus:
Flee¤ing from sin, flee¤ing from sin,
A¤bid¤ing in Je¤sus, I’m kept pure with¤in.

Oh, why should I lin¤ger where ¤sor¤rows a¤bound,
To ques¤tion and tri¤fle while death lurks a¤round?
Con¤sent¤ing? No nev¤er! To ¤Je¤sus I fly,
My ref¤uge, my for¤tress, my Sav¤iour is nigh.

He lives to de¤liv¤er, what ¤com¤fort di¤vine!
His arm will pro¤tect me, I know He is mine,
His pre¤cious blood bought me, I ¤am not my own,
My life shall be spent for my Sav¤iour a¤lone.
