[Philip P. =
Bliss, 1838-1876, wrote this simple song encompassing the mission two =
thousand years ago of our Savior. And we join the simple refrain =
today – Hallelujah.]
“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!
