Man of Sorrows, What a Name...

When I was a child I loved to sing hymns--especially when there 

was an organ and a brightly robed choir. I learned many of the old 

hymns; hymns that focused on the gospel message of salvation. 

The following hymn by Philip Bliss is one of my favorites and it has 

come back to me as I have worked on the blog the past few days.

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!
