Man of Sorrows, Glorious King

For the joy that was before you set

You incurred the world’s SIN debt

You bore the burden of our blame 

You despised the sorrowful shame

Man of Sorrows , what a cost

When our anguish became your loss.

Grief and misery you knew

Suffering servant, woe to you!

Man of Sorrows, King of Glory,  Through your death there is victory

Man of sorrows, Glorious King Of the Lamb and the Lion we sing!

Humiliation  laid you down

You bore the cross and gained the crown

As the Godhead had conceived

Exaltation you received

Lamentation to exaltation

Christ arose for our Salvation

Now at the Father’s right hand 

He sits enthroned and so we stand.

Man of Sorrows, King of Glory,  Through your death there is victory

Man of sorrows, Glorious King Of the Lamb and the Lion we sing!

Man of Sorrows,  King of Glory

To you we lift our offeratory

Songs of joy and hope and praise

All to You we humbly raise

King of Glory, Sovereign 

Majestic Monarch You shall reign

Royal Ruler on your throne

All Dominion is yours alone.

Man of Sorrows, King of Glory,  Through your death there is victory

Man of sorrows, Glorious King Of the Lamb and the Lion we sing!
