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 sin and won the victory

Oh, 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

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

Oh, 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

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

Oh, 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
