|
I heard an old, old story |
|
How a Savior came from glory |
|
How He gave His life on Calvary |
|
To save a wretch like me |
|
I heard about His groaning |
|
Of His precious blood's atoning |
|
Then I repented of my sins |
|
And won the victory |
|
O victory in Jesus |
|
My Savior, forever |
|
He sought me and bought me |
|
With His redeeming blood |
|
He loved me ere I knew Him |
|
And all my love is due Him |
|
He plunged me to victory |
|
Beneath the cleansing flood |
|
I heard about His healing |
|
Of His cleansing pow'r revealing |
|
How He made the lame to walk again |
|
And caused the blind to see |
|
And then I cried, "Dear Jesus |
|
Come and heal my broken spirit," |
|
And somehow Jesus came and brought |
|
To me the victory |
|
O victory in Jesus |
|
My Savior, forever |
|
He sought me and bought me |
|
With His redeeming blood |
|
He loved me ere I knew Him |
|
And all my love is due Him |
|
He plunged me to victory |
|
Beneath the cleansing flood |
|
I heard about a mansion |
|
He has built for me in glory |
|
And I heard about the streets of gold |
|
Beyond the crystal sea |
|
About the angels singing |
|
And the old redemption story |
|
And some sweet day I'll sing up there |
|
The song of victory |
|
O victory in Jesus |
|
My Savior, forever |
|
He sought me and bought me |
|
With His redeeming blood |
|
He loved me ere I knew Him |
|
And all my love is due Him |
|
He plunged me to victory |
|
Beneath the cleansing flood |
