Bear me thro' the swelling current
Land me safe on Canaan's

will ever give to Thee

Lyrics:
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 (and
He)
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!

Chorus:
(O) How marvelous! (O) How wonderful!
And my song shall

To
comfort Him in the sorrows He bore for my soul that night

He bore
the burden to Calvary and suffered and died alone

Lyrics:
They bound the hands of Jesus
In the garden where He prayed
They
led Him through the streets in shame
They spat upon the Saviour
So
pure and free from sin
They said, "Crucify Him He's to blame"
Chorus:
He could have called ten thousand angels
To destroy the
world (the world) and set Him free
He could have called ten thousand
angels
But He died alone (alone) for you and me
Upon His precious head
They placed a crown of thorns
They laughed
and said, "Behold the King"
They struck Him and they cursed Him
And
mocked His holy name
All alone He suffered everything
Repeat Chorus 1
When they nailed Him to the cross
His mother stood nearby
He said
"Woman, behold thy son"
He cried, "I thirst for water"
But they gave
Him none to drink
Then the sinful work of man (was) was done
Repeat Chorus 1
To the howling mob he yielded
He did not for mercy cry
The cross
of shame He took alone
And when He cried, "It's finished"
He gave
Himself to die
Salvation's wondrous plan was done (was done)
Chorus 2:
He could have called ten thousand angels
To destroy the
world (the world) and set Him free (Him free)
He could have called ten
(called) thousand angels (ten thousand)
But He died alone (o yes He
did) (alone) for you and me (me)

A numerous host redeemed by
