Psalm 34:1-3 HYMN OF WORSHIP “Victory In Jesus” 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. PRAISE & WORSHIP Prayer Hymn of Worship ............................................................... Page 511 “Victory In Jesus” [Large version of song printed on inside back page of bulletin] 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.

Reverend George Hinton Invitation to Accept Christ Hymn of Invitation BENEDICTION 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 son of victory. (Chorus) 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.
