I heard an old, old story,

I heard an old, old story,

How a saviour 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 saviour forever

He sought me and bo’t me with his redeeming blood

He loved me e’re 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

brought to me the victory    - o..

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..
