“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!
