A MAN OF SORROWS

Man of sorrows! What a name.

For the Son of God, who came

Ruined sinners to reclaim.

Hallelujah! What a Saviour!

Bearing shame and scoffing rude,

In my place condemned He stood;

Sealed my pardon with His blood.

Hallelujah! What a Saviour!

Guilty, vile, and helpless we;

Spotless Lamb of God was He;

Full atonement!  can it be?

Hallelujah! What a Saviour!

Lifted up was He to die;

It is finished, was His cry;

Now in Heaven exalted high.

Hallelujah! What a Saviour!

When He comes, our glorious King,

All His ransomed home to bring.

Then anew His song we’ll sing:

Hallelujah! What a Saviour!
