Lyrics to the hymn, Victory In Jesus

A path in the forest


Introduction

Hello, my friends. I am Mother of Gooses, and I love hymns, particularly fast ones. And I'm going to be trying to publish the lyrics to all the ones I like, or kind of like, or not really like.

Today's hymn is Victory in Jesus; written by Eugene Monroe Bartlett, it is on my list of favorite hymns; and I hope that if you don't like it, you will learn to. It is a very pretty hymn.

If you don't know how the tune goes, go to YouTube and look up Carrie Underwood's version. Let me warn you, though: she doesn't sing the whole song.

Wah.

The Lyrics 

Verse 1

I heard an old, old story, 

How a 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. 

Chorus

Oh, 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.

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.

Chorus

Oh, 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.

Verse 3

I heard about a mansion,

He has built for me in glory;

And I've heard about the streets of gold,

Beyond the crystal sea;

About the angels singing, 

And that old redemption story;

And some sweet day I'll sing up there the song of victory.

Chorus

Oh, 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.


     Afterwards

And that, my friends, is it. Isn't it nice? Carrie skipped the third verse, which irritates me.

But, she did a good job on what she did sing, thank goodness. So many people today just don't do a good job on hymn singing.

Goodbye, and God bless.

Introduction  Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where I write the lyrics to hymns, and the occasional recipe. Today, the hymn we are looking at is called This Is My Father's World; it was written in 1901 by a Mr. Maltbie Davenport Babcock. It was originally a poem with sixteen verses, but when it was set to music, only three verses were chosen. A tree and a bush Someday I might do the whole poem, but today, I'm just going to do the three that I know. Let me know if you want me to do the whole poem. Go to YouTube and look up Folksandhymns to find the tune. Now, on with the show! The Lyrics  Verse 1 This is my Father's world; And to my listening ears, All nature sings  And 'round me rings  The music of the spheres. This is my Father's world;  I rest me in the thought Of rocks and trees, Of skies and seas. His hand the wonders wrought. Verse 2 This is my Father's world; The birds, their carols raise. The morning light,  The lily...
