SELAH 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 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 somehow Jesus came and bro't To me 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 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
