The Song Book of the Salvation Army ‎#118

118. Man of sorrows! what a name

1 Man of sorrows! what a name
For the San of God, who came
Ruined sinners to reclaim;
Hallelujah! What a Saviour!

2 Bearing shame and scoffing rude,
In my place condemned he stood,
Sealed my pardon with his blood;
Hallelujah! What a Saviour!

3 Guilty, vile and helpless we,
Spotless Lamb of God was he;
Full atonement-can it be?
Hallelujah! What a Saviour!

4 Lifted up was he to die;
It is finished! was his cry;
Now in Heaven, exalted high;
Hallelujah! What a Saviour!

5 When he comes, our glorious King,
All his ransomed home to bring,
Then anew this song we’ll sing:
Hallelujah! What a Saviour!
