Verse 1
Man of Sorrows!
what a name
for the Son of God, who came
ruined sinners to reclaim.
Hallelujah! What a Savior!
Verse 2
Bearing shame
and scoffing rude,
in my place condemned he stood;
sealed by pardon with his blood.
Hallelujah! What a Savior!
Verse 3
Guilty, vile, and helpless we;
spotless Lamb of God was he;
full atonement can it be?
Hallelujah! What a Savior!
Verse 4
Lifted up was he to die;
“It is finished!” was his cry;
now in heaven exalted high.
Hallelujah! What a Savior!
Verse 5
When he comes,
our glorious King,
all his ransomed home to bring,
then anew this song we’ll sing:
Hallelujah! What a Savior!
