I heard an old, old story

1. 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.

Chorus: 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.
