Songs

I heard an old, old story,

109
					

1	I heard an old, old story, how a Savior came from glory
	How He gave His life on Calvary t 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 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

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, ome and heal my broken spirit”
	And some-how Jesus came and brought to me the 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 redemption story,
	And some sweet day I'll sing up there the song of victory….
