The Celebration Hymnal

311

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 heav'n 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!
