Verse 1

I heard an old, old story, How a Saviour came from Glo-ry,

 How He gave His life on Calvary To save a wretch like me;

 I heard about His groaning, Of His precious blood's a- ton- ing,

 Then I re -pent -ed of my sins And won the vic - to - ry.

Chorus

 O vic - to - ry in Jesus, My Saviour, for-ev-er, 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,

 Be-neath the cleansing flood.

Verse 2

I heard about His healing, Of His cleasnsing pow'r re-veal-ing,

 How He made the lame to walk again And caused the blind to see;

 And then I cried, "Dear Jesus, Come and heal my bro - ken spi- rit,"

 And some how Jesus came and brought To me the vic - to - ry.

Chorus

 O vic - to - ry in Jesus, My Saviour, for-ev-er, 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,

 Be-neath the cleansing flood.

Verse 3

I heard about a mansion he has built for me in Glo-ry,

 And I heard about the streets of gold Be - yond the crys-tal sea;

 A-bout the an- gels sing - ing, And the old re-demp-tion sto- ry,

 And some sweet day I'll sing up there The song of vic - to - ry.

Chorus

 O vic - to - ry in Jesus, My Saviour, for-ev-er, 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,

 Be-neath the cleansing flood.
