Down from His glory

1
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.
2
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.
3
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.”

I too received these words this early morning after reading my Bible and considering the amazing truth of John 1:12 and then suddenly the chorus came to my mind!!

“Oh how I love Him, how I adore Him, my breath my sunshine, my all in all, The Great Redeemer became my Savior and all God’s fullness dwelleth in Him! ” I just had to see the whole Hymn again, I am 82 and had not heard the song since it first came out years and years ago! I asked Ceri/my phone…. and this came to me! Thank you for posting!

Condescension - to let oneself down

A Latin word meaning the act of voluntary inclining to equality with inferiors

This in every way refers to the fact that God became man, lived as a man and is still a man in glory.


Ps.Benyamin

O how I love Him! How I adore Him!

My breath, my sunshine, my all in all!
