Rumination's on Hymns: "Hallelujah! What a Savior"

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 Heav’n exalted high. Hallelujah! What a Savior! When He comes, our glorious King, All His ransomed home to bring, Then anew His song we’ll sing: Hallelujah! What a Savior! --Phillip P. Bliss (1838-1876) I think the hymn says it all. What praise we ought to offer for our Lord who humbly accepted the task set before him. What a debt we owe to the one who redeemed us. What humiliating shame he endured for me. Praise God for the cross work of Christ and for the precious blood. Today and in every day make much of Christ: What a Savior!
