Brother
Richard I thought you might enjoy this Hymn Story:
Preparing us for eternity, when all nations will praise God together,
the word "Hallelujah" provides a similar expression of praise in all
languages. "Hallelujah, Wat a Savior" uses the word to tie the cross
with the triumph of the risen and reigning Lord.
The first four verses tell the crucifixion story, that Jesus, the
"spotless Lamb of God," stood condemned in our place. He took on our
sins for us, the "guilty, vile and helpless." Completing each short
stanza, we cry out with overwhelming praise "Hallelujah, what a Savior!"
In the last public meeting before his untimely death, Philip Bliss the
hymn's composer conducted a service at the Michigan State Prison for 800
inmates. Many of them wept in true repentance as he spoke of Jesus'
redeeming death and sang the verses of "Hallelujah, What a Savior!"
Hallelujah, What a Savior
Man of Sorrows! what a name
For the Son of God, Who came
Ruined sinners to reclaim.
Hallelujah on HALLELUJAH!!!
