Down from His glory

One of the most anointed songs I have ever heard. This song speaks of His great glory, and demands our fullest attention. This song speaks of the fulness and glory of our God, brought down to humiliation and death for the sake of mankind. i am a retired minister, up in years, but i still sing the song, "Down from His glory".

The first time I heard this beautiful song I was 13 years old and heard our choir director sing it as a solo in the 1960s. It touched my heart then and still does today. Sadly, they don't sing these wonderful old songs in churches today. My grandfather knew William Booth-Clibborn and had him preach at the Pentecostal Assembly church in Eau Claire where my grandfather J.P. Rulien was pastor. I feel the Holy Spirit so strongly in this song even today. Praise the Lord!

I am so thankful that the Lord brought this old song back to my memory: The Great Creator became 'my' Savior & all God's fullness dwells not only in 'Him' but according to Col. & 1 Jn 4:17 'as He is in the earth so are we!'. Oh Wondrous Mys'try! I SHALL EVER SING YOUR PRAISES: OH HOW I LOVE HIM, WHO IS MY LIFE, STRENGTH, MY ALL IN ALL!

It is truly incomprehensible that God would die for man's sin. But that it happened because God so loved the word is cause for never ending wonderment. We are sinners--undeserving of His love, but He chose to die in our place that we may have salvation. Oh how I truly love Him! This song says it all! Praise the Lord indeed, for His never ending love!

Thank you so much for posting this beautiful hymn. It brought tears to my eyes as I was listening. I'm gonna use the third verse for my conclusion as I preach this Sunday and have the songleader lead the congregation in singing this as a response song.

"A Man of sorrows, tears and agony.

Oh how I love Him, How I adore Him."

Beautiful. Thank You, Lord Jesus for bearing our sins. I love You and adore You!

The man who wrote the lyrics of this beautiful song, William Booth Clibborn, was the grandson of the founder of the Salvation Army and one of my father's best friends. What a man! Large in stature, English, had a mustache and told us the stories of his accomplishment of swimming the English Channel. A great man of God. I was priviledged to know him and this song is probably one of my top Christian songs. My mother, who had a beautiful voice, would sing this in church and it never failed to touch hearts. Thank you Lord for your grace and love and for your servant who so appropriately wrote this song that conveys it to us.

I first heard this in the mid 60's. a gentleman sang it at a concert in California. To have it again is such a blessing.

Amen for God's incarnation!

i really like this song. It reminds me the precious salvation that God has given me though I'm a sinner. Glory to GOD!! We ought to praise Him forever! :)
