“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 Heav’n exalted high.
Hallelujah! What a Savior!
When He comes, our glorious King
All His ransomed home to bring,
Then anew His song we’ll sing:
Hallelujah! What a Savior!
--Philip P. Bliss

Thanks for the link to the hymn website!
This is a wonderful hymn!!!!!
Needs to be sung in church far more often than the 7-11 songs. :)

Thank you both for your comments.
Yes, this hymn is a beautiful one in which to glorify the LORD!
Sadly, many, many Christian bodies now-a-days do not sing these Hymns which are rich and full of the truth of God's doctrines----choosing instead wishy-washy, usually ear-splittingly loud "yah-yah" songs. Hymns like this one were written to glorify God as well as teach us His doctrines.
