| 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.
|
| Chorus
|
| 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 bro’t
|
| To me the victory.
|
| Chorus
|
| 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.
|
| Chorus
|
| 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. |
