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.

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.

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."

I have heard this song first in my native language in Romania. I loved the melody and the message. Strange, but I have never heard it sang in any of the American churches I attended. So, I would like to learn it well to be able to sing it in my church. I am so grateful I found the words and music sheet. I hope this song will bless others as well.

What a wonderful hymn I used to listen to it sung by Jack Holcombe in 1960s at my grand parents Farm in Ohio. The beautiful truth of the Savior's glory will continue until He comes again. Hallelujah!

Once Satan touched man, God stepped in to act... and this is according to God's sovereignty!
I just have to praise the Lord for the process He went through of incarnation, human living, crucifixion, resurrection, He became the Spirit and ascended as a Man! Now as the Spirit (2 Cor. 15:45b) He lives in us (Col. 1:27) spreading and making His home in all our hearts (Eph. 3:17) in order to build us up together to be His corporate dwelling place (Eph. 2:22) for His satisfaction and rest for all eternity (Rev. 21:2). "O how I love Him..."
This sounds a lot like "It's Now or Never" which was a pop song a few decades ago.

Although, my outward environment is currently consuming my outward man, I'm so, so refreshed by this song. All my situations go away when I consider how the Great Creator stepped out of glory to suffer in order to save us and bring us into His Glory.
