School Hymn

I heard an old, old story,

How the Savior 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.

Refrain:  O victory in Jesus!

My Savior 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.

I heard about His healing,

Of His cleansing pow’r 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.

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.
