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 Power 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.
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.
