Victory Songs ‎#78

78. The Overlow of Gladness.

1 If you give your heart to Jesus, and accept Him for your guide;
If you always take Him with you, walking closely by His side;
You will find the sweet assuring joy that always will abide,
In an overflow of gladness ev'rywhere.

Chorus:
There's an overflow of gladness,
A never-failing gladness;
Its fragrance and its sunlight fill the air.
With the Savior ever near,
You will find a haven here,
In an overflow of gladness ev'rywhere.

2 If you turn away from evil, and refuse to do the wrong;
If you fight against temptation, with a purpose full and strong;
You will find the world a garden, full of sunshine, love and song,
In an overflow of gladness ev'rywhere. [Chorus]

3 If you try to help a brother as he struggles on his way;
If you tell the joyous tidings that the Lord would have you say;
If you do the Master's bidding, there'll be sunshine ev'ry day,
And an overflow of gladness ev'rywhere. [Chorus]
