R. Palmer, 1868).

Both plates head the hymn \"No. 89. Yield Not to Temptation.\", set the motto \"God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able.\"\u20141 Cor. 10: 13, credit \"H. R. PALMER.\" at the left and \"H. R. PALMER, by per.\" at the right, and print THREE stanzas interlinearly under the staves plus the chorus once. US public domain: first published 1868, and both witnesses read here are themselves pre-1931; Palmer died in 1907, so it is also PD in life+70 jurisdictions. PUNCTUATION IS THE PLATES', not modernized: commas close verse lines 1, 3, 5 and 7 of every stanza, a SEMICOLON closes line 4 (\"Some other to win;\" / \"Nor take it in vain;\" / \"Though often cast down;\"), and a full stop closes line 8. The chorus is pointed \"Ask the Saviour to help you, Comfort, strengthen, and keep you; He is willing to aid you, He will carry you through.\" \u2014 comma after \"Comfort\", comma after \"strengthen\", semicolon after the second \"you\". The plates print the elisions \"vict'ry\", \"rev'rence\", \"Thro'\" and \"o'ercometh\"; all four are kept exactly as engraved and are NOT expanded. \"Kind-hearted\" carries the plates' own hyphen. DEPARTURE FROM THE PAGE: the plates leave several two-note words unhyphenated in the underlay (\"yielding\", \"vict'ry\", \"passions\", \"carry\", \"thoughtful\", \"renew\", \"hearted\", \"conquer\", \"o'ercom-eth\" is hyphenated but \"o'er\" is not split off); the syllabified lines below hyphenate every word that the music divides across noteheads, so the engraved hyphenation of this import is FINER than the 1883/1884 plates'.
