VICTORY IN JESUS

I heard an old, old story, how the 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, for ever!

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 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.

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.
