Sorry for the double entry, the 1st one took several hours to post and I thought it was lost. It is hard to say it any stronger than the old hymns do. I suppose it has a lot to do with the tribulations many of these writers of old had to go through. “Tribulation worketh patience” and also draws a soul closer to God. Happy Easter all, may our Lord grant us all a refreshed spirit and a renewed commitment to the service to the King of Kings.
He was despised and rejected by
men, a man of sorrows.” Isaiah 53:3
Man of Sorrows! what a name
For the Son of God, Who came
Ruined sinners to reclaim.
Hallelujah! What a Savior!
Bear 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 His song we’ll sing
Hallelujah! What a Savior!
It has been said that the word “Hallelujah” is the same in all languages!
May all of you have a wonderful Easter and a sacred time of reflection.
And can it be, that I should gain?

Galatians 6:14
“May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ”
The cross, it standeth fast-
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
Defying every blast-
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
The winds of hell have blown,
The world its hate hath shown,
Yet it is not overthrown-
Hallelujah for the cross!
It is the old cross still-
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
Its triumph let us tell-
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
The grace of God here shown
Thru Christ, the blessed Son,
Who did for sin atone-
Hallelujah for the cross!
Twas here the debt was paid-
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
Our sins on Jesus laid-
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
So round the cross we sing
Of Christ, our offering,
Of Christ, our living King
Hallelujah for the cross!
Hallelujah, hallelujah’
Hallelujah for the cross;
Hallelujah, hallelujah’
It shall never suffer loss!
It has been said that the word Hallelujah is the same in all languages.
37 years of being gloriously saved
and I still “Stand amazed” and still proclaim “And can it be…”
Wishing all of you a wonderful Easter. Don Sivyer
