*SONG OF PRAISE
“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.
Repeat Refrain
*WORDS OF PRAISE Delbert Dearing
