The Celebration Hymnal ‎#311

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!
