“Victory in Jesus”  UMH #370  (vs 1,3)

Vs. 1:  I heard an old, old sto-ry, how a Sav-ior came from glo-ry, how he gave his life on Cal-va-ry to save a wretch like me; I heard a-bout his groan-ing, of his pre-cious blood’s a-ton-ing, then I re-pent-ed of my sins and won the vic-to-ry.

Refrain:  O vic-to-ry in Je-sus, my Sav-ior for-ev-er!  He sought me and bought me with his re-deem-ing blood; he loved me ere I knew him, and all my love is due him; he plunged me to vic-to-ry be-neath the cleans-ing flood.

Vs. 3:  I heard a-bout a man-sion he has built for me in glo-ry, and I heard a-bout the streets of gold be-yond the crys-tal sea; a-bout the an-gels sing-ing and the old re-demp-tion sto-ry, and some  sweet day I’ll sing up there the song of vic-to-ry.

Vs. 1:  I heard an old, old sto-ry, how a Sav-ior came from glo-ry, how he gave his life on Cal-va-ry to save a wretch like me; I heard a-bout his groan-ing, of his pre-cious blood’s a-ton-ing, then I re-pent-ed of my sins and won the vic-to-ry.

Refrain:  O vic-to-ry in Je-sus, my Sav-ior for-ev-er!  He sought me and bought me with his re-deem-ing blood; he loved me ere I knew him, and all my love is due him; he plunged me to vic-to-ry be-neath the cleans-ing flood.

Vs. 3:  I heard a-bout a man-sion he has built for me in glo-ry, and I heard a-bout the streets of gold be-yond the crys-tal sea; a-bout the an-gels sing-ing and the old re-demp-tion sto-ry, and some  sweet day I’ll sing up there the song of vic-to-ry.

“The Battle Hymn of the Republic”  UMH#717 (vs 1,2,5)

Vs. 1:  Mine eyes have seen the glo-ry of the coming of the Lord; he is tram-pling out the vin-tage where the grapes of wrath are stored; he hath loosed the fate-ful light-ning of his ter-ri-ble swift sword; his truth is march-ing on..

Chorus:  Glo-ry, glo-ry, hal-le-lu-jah!  Glo-ry, glo-ry, hal-le-lu-jah!  Glo-ry, glo-ry, hal-le-lu-jah!  His truth is march-ing on.

Vs. 2:  I have seen him in the watch-fires of a hun-dred cir-cling camps, they have build-ed him an al-tar in the eve-ning dews and damps; I can read his righ-teous sen-tence by the dim and flar-ing lamps; his day is march-ing on.

Repeat Chorus

Vs. 5:  He is com-ing like the glo-ry of the morn-ing on the wave, he is wis-dom to the might-y, he is hon-or to the brave; so the world shall be his foot-stool, and the soul of wrong his slave.  Our God is march-ing on.
