 “Victory in Jesus” Lyrics

I heard an old, old story

About 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

O victory in Jesus,

My Savior, forever

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 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 some sweet day I'll sing up

There the song of victory.

O victory in Jesus,

My Savior, forever!

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 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.

O victory in Jesus,

My Savior, forever!

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
