Verse 1. “Man of sorrows,” what a name
For the Son of God who came,
Ruined sinners to reclaim!
Hallelujah! what a Saviour!
Verse 2. Bearing shame and scoffing rude,
In my place condemned he stood,
Seal’d my pardon with his blood;
Hallelujah! what a Saviour!
Verse 3. Lifted up was he to die,
“It is finished,” was his cry,
Now in heav’n exalted high,
Hallelujah! what a Saviour!
Verse 4. When he comes, our glorious King,
All his ransomed home to bring,
Then anew this song we’ll sing,
Hallelujah! what a Saviour!
