Yield not to temptation

Growing up we used to sing this hymn. (I have mixed feelings about not singing it today):

Yield not to temptation, for yielding is sin;
Each vict’ry will help you some other to win;
Fight manfully onward, dark passions subdue;
Look ever to Jesus, He’ll carry you through.

Refrain:
Ask the Savior to help you,
Comfort, strengthen, and keep you;
He is willing to aid you,
He will carry you through.

Shun evil companions, bad language disdain,
God’s name hold in rev’rence, nor take it in vain;
Be thoughtful and earnest, kindhearted and true;
Look ever to Jesus, He’ll carry you through.

To him that o’ercometh, God giveth a crown,
Through faith we will conquer, though often cast down;
He who is our Savior, our strength will renew;
Look ever to Jesus, He’ll carry you through.

My first thought is that the second line of the first verse, "Each vict’ry will help you some other to win" is not true. That may be true if you are trying to beat a habit like biting your nails but it is not true about temptation.

Second, though the hymn writer doesn't say this there is the implication that we can overcome temptation in our own strength. He does not say this but that is what I believed that it said when we used to sing it. In fairness to the hymn writer he does tell us that it is Jesus who will carry it through.

Do I miss the hymn?
