Verse 1 
 
  G                 
I heard an old, old story  
      C                G 
How a Savior came from glory, 
       G             Em 
How He gave His life on Calvary  
   A7                D7 
To save a wretch like me; 
  G                           
I heard about His groaning,  
       C                     G 
Of His precious blood's atoning, 
     G          Em 
Then I repented of my sin  
    D         G 
And won the victory. 
 
Chorus 
 
   G                   C       G       
O victory in Jesus, my Savior forever. 
   G       
He sought me and bought me  
     A7            D7 
With His redeeming blood. 
   G               G7 
He loved me ere I knew Him,  
   C                 G 
And all my love is due Him, 
   G 
He plunged me to victory  
   G        D         G 
Beneath the cleansing flood. 
 
Verse 2 
 
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 brought to me the victory. 
 
Verse 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.
