Refrain: Never yield a step in the hottest fight, God will send you help from the realms of light; In Jehovah’s might put the foe to flight, And the victor’s crown you shall wear at last. 2 Be an overcomer, He who stands with you Is a mighty One, who is always true; In the sorest conflict you shall win the day, Face the legions dark till they flee away. [Refrain] 3 Be an overcomer, you are heaven’s heir, And a crown of life you may ever wear; So with courage press the battle to the gates, Till you gain the prize which in heaven waits. [Refrain] 4 Be an overcomer, forward boldly go, You are strong enough if you count it so— Strong enough to conquer through sustaining grace, And to overcome every foe you face.

Looking for Me

Author: Anna C. Storey Hymnal: Timeless Truths #916 Meter: 11.10.11.10.10.10.10.10 First Line: I was a captive, but mercy released me Refrain First Line: Wonderful Savior, wonderful Savior! Lyrics: 1 I was a captive, but mercy released me, I was in darkness, but now I can see; Over the mountain, where lonely I wandered, Jesus, my Savior, came looking for me. Refrain: Wonderful Savior, wonderful Savior! Now and forever my boasting shall be; Over the mountain, where lonely I wandered, Jesus, my Savior, came looking for me. [Refrain] 2 Weeping, I longed for the rapture of pardon, Longed from my burden of sin to be free; Then as I lifted my earnest petition, Jesus, my Savior, came looking for me. [Refrain] 3 Filled with the fullness of perfect salvation, Washed in the blood that was shed on the tree; This my rejoicing through ages eternal: Jesus, my Savior, came looking for me. [Refrain] 4 Oh, for the harp of a seraph to praise Him! Oh, for the tongue of an angel to sing; Glory to Jesus, my blessed Redeemer, I am adopted, the child of a King. [Refrain] Topics: Experience Scripture: Matthew 18:12 Tune Title: [I was a captive, but mercy released me]

William J. Kirkpatrick

1838 - 1921 Meter: 11.10.11.10.10.10.10.10 Composer of "[I was a captive, but mercy released me]" in Timeless Truths William J. Kirkpatrick (b. Duncannon, PA, 1838; d. Philadelphia, PA, 1921) received his musical training from his father and several other private teachers. A carpenter by trade, he engaged in the furniture business from 1862 to 1878. He left that profession to dedicate his life to music, serving as music director at Grace Methodist Church in Philadelphia. Kirkpatrick compiled some one hundred gospel song collections; his first, Devotional Melodies (1859), was published when he was only twenty-one years old. Many of these collections were first published by the John Hood Company and later by Kirkpatrick's own Praise Publishing Company, both in Philadelphia. Bert Polman

Louis Bourgeois

1510 - 1561 Meter: 11.10.11.10.10.10.10.10 Composer of "GENEVAN 27" in Psalter Hymnal (Gray) Louis Bourgeois (b. Paris, France, c. 1510; d. Paris, 1561). In both his early and later years Bourgeois wrote French songs to entertain the rich, but in the history of church music he is known especially for his contribution to the Genevan Psalter. Apparently moving to Geneva in 1541, the same year John Calvin returned to Geneva from Strasbourg, Bourgeois served as cantor and master of the choristers at both St. Pierre and St. Gervais, which is to say he was music director there under the pastoral leadership of Calvin. Bourgeois used the choristers to teach the new psalm tunes to the congregation. The extent of Bourgeois's involvement in the Genevan Psalter is a matter of scholar­ly debate. Calvin had published several partial psalters, including one in Strasbourg in 1539 and another in Geneva in 1542, with melodies by unknown composers. In 1551 another French psalter appeared in Geneva, Eighty-three Psalms of David, with texts by Marot and de Beze, and with most of the melodies by Bourgeois, who supplied thirty­ four original tunes and thirty-six revisions of older tunes. This edition was republished repeatedly, and later Bourgeois's tunes were incorporated into the complete Genevan Psalter (1562). However, his revision of some older tunes was not uniformly appreciat­ed by those who were familiar with the original versions; he was actually imprisoned overnight for some of his musical arrangements but freed after Calvin's intervention. In addition to his contribution to the 1551 Psalter, Bourgeois produced a four-part harmonization of fifty psalms, published in Lyons (1547, enlarged 1554), and wrote a textbook on singing and sight-reading, La Droit Chemin de Musique (1550). He left Geneva in 1552 and lived in Lyons and Paris for the remainder of his life. Bert Polman

George C. Stebbins

1846 - 1945 Meter: 11.10.11.10.10.10.10.10 Composer of "TRUE-HEARTED" in Christian Classics Ethereal Hymnary Stebbins studied music in Buffalo and Rochester, New York, then became a singing teacher. Around 1869, he moved to Chicago, Illinois, to join the Lyon and Healy Music Company. He also became the music director at the First Baptist Church in Chicago. It was in Chicago that he met the leaders in the Gospel music field, such as George Root, Philip Bliss, & Ira Sankey. At age 28, Stebbins moved to Boston, Massachusetts, where he became music director at the Claredon Street Baptist Church; the pastor there was Adoniram Gordon. Two years later, Stebbins became music director at Tremont Temple in Boston. Shortly thereafter, he became involved in evangelism campaigns with Moody and others. Around 1900, Stebbins spent a year as an evangelist in India, Egypt, Italy, Palestine, France and England. (www.hymntime.com/tch)
