Verse 1 (sung at the beginning)

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

Refrain:

O victory in Jesus

My Savior forever

He sought me and He 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

Verse 2 (sung at the end)

I heard about His healing

Of His cleansing power 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 [Refrain]

Verse 3

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
