Hymn

Man of Sorrows! what a name

For the Son of God, who came

Ruined sinners to reclaim:

Hallelujah, What a Savior!



Bearing shame and scoffing rude,

In my place condemned he stood;

Sealed my pardon with his blood:

Hallelujah! What a Savior!



Guilty, vile, and helpless, we;

Spotless Lamb of God was he.

Full atonement! Can it be?

Hallelujah! What a Savior!



Lifted up was he to die,

"It is finished!" was his cry;

Now in heaven, exalted high:

Hallelujah! What a Savior!



When he comes, our glorious King,

All his ransomed home to bring,

Then anew this song we'll sing:

Hallelujah! What a Savior!



-P. P. Bliss, 1838-1876
