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?

Hallelujah! What a Savior!

 

Lifted up was He to die,

"It is finished!" was His cry;

Now in heaven, exalted high:

Hallelujah! What a Savior!

 

When He comes, our glorious King,

All His ransomed home to bring,

Then anew this song we'll sing:

Hallelujah! What a Savior!

 

- P. P. Bliss, 1838-1876
