“Man of Sorrows,” what a name
For the Son of God who came
Ruined sinners to reclaim!
Hallelujah! what a Savior!
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!
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 redemption—can it be?
Hallelujah! what a Savior!
Spotless Lamb of God was He;
Full redemption—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!
“It is finished!” was His cry;
Now in heaven exalted high;
Hallelujah! what a Savior!

When He comes, our glorious King,
To His kingdom us to bring,
Then anew this song we’ll sing
Hallelujah! what a Savior!
To His kingdom us to bring,
Then anew this song we’ll sing
Hallelujah! what a Savior!

Man of Sorrows was part of a Cantata we sung at church several years ago. Was the name of the Cantata "What a Saviour"?

Beautiful words. Yes the last verse does it. Sometimes the words of some songs become my prayer.

Salvation is not free! Christ paid the full price so we can obtain it freely! Oh how dear the price!

When we imagine the contradiction our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ suffered in our hands before and at the cross we see Divine Love demonstrated. So much love rewarded with intense rejection and hatred. But love conquered, divine mercy triumphed over deserved judgement. Hallelujah! what a Savior!

How great an expression of the invaluable salvation acquired without human merits but by grace. Alleluia what a Savior!

I am using this hymn this Sunday when our congregation will be concentrating on the rejection, bullying, injustice and being abandoned by many that Jesus encountered during Holy Week. We tend to concentrate on the suffering on the Cross - but Jesus suffered all that we suffer in our daily lives - so fully understands our suffering. Truly the Son of Man - as He called Himself as well as the Son of God.

The song reminds me of what the Saviour did on the cross. Hallelujah! O what a Saviour!
