Eugene Monroe Bartlett Senior was born on Christmas Eve of 1885. Mr. Bartlett was well known as a gospel singer, writer, teacher, editor, and publisher. He was inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame in 1979.   The last song he wrote, in 1939, was “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.

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 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..

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.
