In My Place Condemned He Stood

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 this song we'll sing
Hallelujah, what a Savior!

Philip Bliss

There is therefore now no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1)
