O Victory!

C. E. Rowley • English

Primary Scripture: 1 John 5:4

Verse 1

I was lost, now I’m saved by the blood of the Lamb That was shed on the cross for me; Taken out of the pit and the deep, miry clay, Praise the Lord for victory!

Chorus

O victory! glad victory Is coming down from heav’n to my soul! Faith is the victory that overcomes, And makes the wounded spirit whole.

Verse 2

At the cross there is rest for the sin-burdened soul; Hear His kind invitation, “Come!” All thy burdens on Him He invites thee to roll, And no more in sin to roam.

Chorus

O victory! glad victory Is coming down from heav’n to my soul! Faith is the victory that overcomes, And makes the wounded spirit whole.

Verse 3

Brother, you, too, may come for the fullness of love; Perfect peace shall to you be giv’n; Ev’ry doubt, ev’ry fear Christ will surely remove, And will guide thee home to heav’n.

Chorus

O victory! glad victory Is coming down from heav’n to my soul! Faith is the victory that overcomes, And makes the wounded spirit whole.
