Words

1.

“Man of sorrows,” what a name
For the Son of God, who came
Ruined sinners to reclaim!
  Hallelujah! What a Savior!

2.

Bearing shame and scoffing rude,
In my place condemned He stood;
Sealed my pardon with His blood:
  Hallelujah! What a Savior!

3.

Guilty, vile, and helpless we;
Spotless Lamb of God was He;
Full atonement! Can it be?
  Hallelujah! What a Savior!

4.

Lifted up was He to die;
“It is finished!” was His cry;
Now in heav’n exalted high;
  Hallelujah! What a Savior!

5.

When He comes, our glorious King,
All His ransomed home to bring,
Then anew this song we’ll sing:
  Hallelujah! What a Savior!
