As a new member this is a short note to complete the information held by you on the above. "Running over" was an incredibly popular children`s chorus, but actually was part of a hymn written by Seth Sykes of Glasgow Scotland. His friend and fellow evangelist Rev William Gardner-Hunter saw the words and created the tune. It was published in Rev. Gardner-Hunter`s "Cross and Crown Melodies". Rev. Gardner-Hunter went to be with the Lord in 1973.

Running over versions
I think we need to clarify info on the versions before we add this note. I took this to mean that the children's chorus is "Running over my cup's filled" and the hymn is "Since the Savior came to this heart of mine." (?) Did Gardner-Hunter write the tune for the hymn or for the children's chorus?
