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.

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.

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."

This song really touched my heart.
Thank God for sending Jesus to be my Lord and Saviour. To God be the glory.
Thank you for the lyrics. I have the MP3 on my cell phone sung by Charles Billingsley--a magnificent recording. A few of the words I could not make out. With your help I can now enjoy it to the fullest!

This song has blessed many Christ followers. It tells the story of the Lord Jesus in a precise and effective way. It does it to the tune of a lovely Italian song O Sole Mio. If you haven't heard it, you need to do so. God bless it's message which is the gospel of Jesus the only Savior of mankind. Amen

Oh how I love Him and adore Him, He was born in a manger, flesh and blood His substance, He was a Savior, He died in the cross. I love the song I've heard after Typhoon Yolanda. It's a good song. It gives me happiness. It helps me remember the birth and death of Jesus. Oh Lord Jesus. Amen!
