Hymn 60

Hallelujah, What A Savior!

"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?

Lifted up was He to die,
"It is finished," was His cry;
Now in Heav'n exalted high:

Hallelujah, what a Savior!

When He comes, our glor'ous King,
All His ransomed home to bring,
Then anew this song we'll sing:
Hallelujah, what a Savior!
