Lyrics

Verse 1
Man of Sor­rows! what a name (Isa. 53:3)
For the Son of God, who came
Ruined sin­ners to re­claim. (I Tim. 1:15, Matt. 9:13, Mark 2:17, Luke 5:32)
Hallelujah! What a Sav­ior!

Verse 2
Bearing shame and scof­fing rude, (Heb. 12:2, Isa. 53:3, Matt. 20:19, Matt. 27:29-31, Matt. 27:39:44, Mark 10:34, Mark 15:20, Mark 15:31-32, Luke 18:32, Luke 22:63, Luke 23:11, Luke 23:36, John 19:2-5, I Pet. 2:23)
In my place con­demned He stood; (Isa. 53:5-6)
Sealed my par­don with His blood. (Eph. 1:7, Matt. 26:28)
Hallelujah! What a Sav­ior!

Verse 3
Guilty, vile, and help­less we; (Rom. 5:6)
Spotless Lamb of God was He; (I Pet. 1:19, John 1:29, Isa. 53:7)
Full atone­ment! can it be?
Hallelujah! What a Sav­ior!

Verse 4
Lifted up was He to die; (John 3:14, John 12:32-33)
It is fin­ished! was His cry; (John 19:30)
Now in Heav’n ex­alt­ed high. (Acts 2:33, Acts 5:31, Phil. 2:9)
Hallelujah! What a Sav­ior!

Verse 5
When He comes, our glo­ri­ous king, (Matt. 16:27, Matt. 25:31, Mark 8:38, Luke 9:26)
All His ran­somed home to bring, (Isa. 35:10, Isa. 51:11, John 14:3, I Thess. 4:16-17)
Then anew this song we’ll sing:
Hallelujah! What a Sav­ior!
