- 1Man of Sorrows! what a nameFor the Son of God, who cameRuined sinners to reclaim.Hallelujah! What a Savior!
- 2Bearing shame and scoffing rude,In my place condemned He stood;Sealed my pardon with His blood.
- 3Guilty, vile, and helpless we;Spotless Lamb of God was He;"Full atonement!" can it be?
- 4Lifted up was He to die;"It is finished!" was His cry;Now in Heav'n exalted high.
- 5When He comes, our glorious King,All His ransomed home to bring,Then anew His song we'll sing:
