Classic hymn text by Philip P Bliss that I made some slight "minor" changes to and added new music and melody to the last verse that I thought fit well with the theme of expectant hope of Christ's glorious return.
lyrics
Man of Sorrows capo 4
Intro: G/B D G D Em C G G D Em C Bm Bm
G Em B C G/B G D A7 D
Man of sorrows what a name for the Son of God, who came
G C G G/B D G D Em C Bm
Ruined sinners to reclaim. Ha – lle – lu - jah what a Savior
G Em B C G/G G D A7 D
Bearing shame and scoffing rude, in my place condemned He stood
G C G G/B D G D Em C Bm
Sealed my pardon with His blood. Ha – lle – lu - jah what a Savior
G Em B C G/B G D A7 D
Guilty, vile and helpless we, spotless Lamb of God was He;
G C G G/B D G D Em C Em7
Full atonement can it be? Ha – lle – lu - jah what a Savior
G Em B C G/B G D A7 D (sustain)
Lifted up was He to die. It is finished was His cry
G C G G/B D G D Em C G C D (build up)
Now in heaven exalted high. Ha – lle – lu - jah what a Savior
G Em C G G/B C D
When He comes our glorious King all His ransomed home to bring
Em D/F# C G G D Em C G
Then anew this song we’ll sing Hallelujah what a Savior
G D Em C G
Hallelujah what a Savior
G D Em C G
Hallelujah what a Savior
G D Em C Bm Bm
Hallelujah what a Savior
