“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 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!

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!

Phillip Bliss was born in a log cabin and grew up on a small country farm in Pennsylvania, later working for several years in lumber camps. His parents were dedicated Christians, and most of the schooling that Philip received was through his parents’ Bible teaching, and hymn singing. One day, when Philip was a boy of 11, he was selling his family’s vegetables in the nearby town when he heard some beautiful piano music being played for the first time. This grabbed his attention and further opened his awareness to his love for and ability in music. At age 11, Philip left home to make his own way, at first toiling as a logger. Later, his singing and composing abilities were discovered and encouraged by others, and he eventually became a music teacher. This hymn, “Man of Sorrows, ” presents us with a beautiful picture of how Christ suffered, died, and then rose again to save us. It was published shortly before his tragic death.
