Victory in Jesus

I heard an old, old story how a Saviour 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 Saviour, 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 some sweet day I’ll sing up there the

song of victory.

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.
