Hallelujah, What a Savior!

I enjoy and value the hymns of old. So many of them communicate profound doctrine. “‘Man of Sorrows,’ What a Name” is such a hymn.

This beautiful hymn has lyrics that not only teach doctrine, but elicit reverent worship.

****************************************

“‘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, helpless, lost were we;
blameless Lamb of God was he,
sacrificed to set us free:
Hallelujah, what a Savior!

He was lifted up 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!”

“‘Man of Sorrows’, What a Name” was written by Philp Blass (1838 – 1876) in 1875.
