Hymns: "Hallelujah! What A Savior!"

I happened upon this video by accident. This is a haunting version of a classic hymn. The song was originally penned by Philip Bliss, who also wrote the songs, Wonderful Words of Life and I Will Sing of My Redeemer. It serves as a reminder of the great price that Christ paid to free us from sin and death. May this song move you to cry out: "Hallelujah! What a Savior!



Here are the words:

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!
