ON THIS SHEET: "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; · Sealed 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 anew this song we'll sing: · Hallelujah! what a Saviour! — Philip Bliss, 1875. LETTER SIZE: 3/8-inch. HANDWRITING: manuscript print. SHEETS: Copywork (Step 1), First Letter Hints (Step 2), Memory Lines (Step 3), Source Text, First Letters Only.
