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 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.
