Words by Philip P. Bliss (1838-1876), 1875Tune: MAN OF SORROWS by Philip P. Bliss (1838-1876), 1875Key signature: C major (no sharps or flats)Time signature: 4/4Public Domain1. 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 His song we’ll sing: Hallelujah! What a Savior!
