‘MAN of Sorrows!’ what a name For the Son of God, Who came Ruined sinners to reclaim! Hallelujah! what a Saviour!
Bearing shame and scoffing rude, In my place condemned He stood, Sealed my pardon with His blood: Hallelujah! what a Saviour!
Guilty, vile, and helpless, we: Spotless Lamb of God was He; ‘Full atonement!’—can it be? Hallelujah! what a Saviour!
‘Lifted up’ was He to die, ‘It is finished!’ was His cry; Now in Heaven exalted high: Hallelujah! what a Saviour!
When He comes, our glorious King, All His ransomed home to bring, Then anew this song we’ll sing: Hallelujah! what a Saviour!
Philip Bliss, 1838-76
