Down from His glory

Down from His glory

Ever living story

My God and Savior came

And Jesus was His name.

Born in a manger

To His own a stranger

A Man of sorrows

tears and agony.

O how I love Him! How I adore Him!

My breath

my sunshine

my all in all!

The great Creator became my Savior

And all God’s fulness dwelleth in Him.

What condescension

Bringing us redemption;

That in the dead of night

Not one faint hope in sight

God

gracious

tender

Laid aside His splendor

Stooping to woo

to win

to save my soul.

Without reluctance

Flesh and blood His substance

He took the form of man

Revealed the hidden plan.

O glorious myst’ry

Sacrifice of Calv’ry

And now I know Thou art the great “I AM.”
