##(Verse 1) 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 vic t ory. ##(Verse 2) I heard about His healing, Of His cleansing power r evealing, 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 vic t ory. ##(Verse 3) I heard about a mansion He has built for me in glory, And I heard about the streets of gold B eyond the crystal sea; About the angels singing And the old redemption story, And some sweet day I'll sing up there the song of vic t ory. ##(Chorus 1) O victory in Jesus my Savior, fo rever! 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 b eneath the clea nsing flood.
