Hymn of the Month: "Man Of Sorrows!" What A Name

This month's hymn is "Man Of Sorrows!" also called "Hallelujah, What A Saviour". I thought it'd be good because Resurrection Day (Easter) is this coming Sunday :-)
It was written and composed by Philip P. Bliss. Who born in 1838 and died in 1876.
Here are the words.

"Man of sorrows!" what a name
For the son of God who came
Ruined sinners to reclaim!
Hallelujah, what a Saviour!

Bearing shame and scoffing rude,
In my place condemned He stood,
Seal'd my pardon with his blood;
Hallelujah, what a Saviour!

Guilty, vile, and helpless we,
Spotless Lamb of God was he;
Full atonement! can it be?
Hallelujah, what a Saviour!

Lifted up was he to die,
"It is finished was," His cry;
Now in heav'n exalted high,
Hallelujah, what a Saviour!

When he comes our glorious King,
All his ransomed home to bring,
Then a new this song we'll sing,
Hallelujah, what a Saviour!
