Man of Sorrows! wondrous Name
For the Son of God, who came
Ruined sinners to reclaim!
Alleluia! what a Saviour!
Bearing shame and scoffing rude,
In my place condemned he stood,
Sealed my pardon with his blood:
Alleluia! what a Saviour!
Guilty, vile, and helpless we;
Spotless Lamb of God was He:
Full atonement, - can it be?
Alleluia! what a Saviour!
Lifted up was he to die,
‘It is finished’ was his cry;
Now in heaven exalted high:
Alleluia! what a Saviour!
When he comes, our glorious King,
All his ransomed home to bring,
Then anew this song we’ll sing:
Alleluia! what a Saviour!
