25. I heard an old, old story, how a saviour
I heard an old, old story, how a saviour came from glory,
How we 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 brought 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
2 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-how Jesus came and brought to me
The victory ..............O victory
3 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 red emption story,
And some sweet day I’ll sing up there the song
Of victory............O victory
