1 Since the Savior came to this heart of mine,
My cup’s fill’d and running over,—
Filling my poor soul with His joy divine,
My cup’s fill’d and running over.

Refrain:
Running over,
Running over,
My cup’s fill’d and running over,
Since the Lord sav’d me,
I’m as happy as can be,
My cup’s fill’d and running over.

2 I no longer dwell in “Dark Egypt’s Land,”
My cup’s fill’d and running over,—
Canaan’s joys are now all at my command,
My cup’s fill’d and running over. [Refrain]

3 Even tho’ I walk thro’ death’s darksome vale,
My cup’s fill’d and running over,—
Christ my comfort is and He will not fail,
My cup’s fill’d and running over. [Refrain]
