226: Hallelujah! What a Savior
1 "Man of Sorrows," what a name
for the Son of God, who came
ruined sinners to reclaim!
Hallelujah! what a Savior!
2 Bearing shame and scoffing rude,
in my place condemned he stood;
sealed my pardon with his blood:
Hallelujah! what a Savior!
3 Guilty, vile, and helpless, we;
spotless Lamb of God was he;
full atonement, can it be?
Hallelujah! what a Savior!
4 Lifted up was he to die,
“It is finished,” was his cry;
now in heaven exalted high:
Hallelujah! what a Savior!
5 When he comes, our glorious King,
all his ransomed home to bring,
then anew this song we’ll sing:
Hallelujah! what a Savior!
