Verse 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.

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.
