man of sorrows

man of sorrows! what a name
for the son of god, who came
ruined sinners to reclaim.

bearing shame and scoffing rude,
in my place condemned he stood;
sealed my pardon with his blood.

(chorus)

hallelujah! what a savior!

hallelujah! what a god!

hallelujah! what sacrifice!

thank you jesus for the cross.

thank you jesus for the cross.

guilty, vile, and helpless we;
spotless lamb of god was he;
“full atonement!” can it be?

lifted up was he to die;
“it is finished!” was his cry;
now in heav’n exalted high.

(chorus)

(bridge)

when he comes, our glorious king,

all his ransomed home to bring,

then anew his song we’ll sing,
