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.

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 thrills my soul! I want to sing with abandon to my precious Lord!
It will take eternity to praise and thank Him!
So thankful that He gifts of putting words to music to those He has saved!

The words in this hymn sound simple, but they are so profound! I'm particularly touched by this utterance, "He took the form of man, revealed the hidden plan."
I believe the more we consider Christ's incarnation, the more we realise it is a mystery! The very God who became a man, Jesus, revealed His eternal plan to be expressed in man (Gen. 1:26)! Through man's actions, conduct, and words, God Himself can be expressed. Hallelujah!

Hallelujah. My God and Savior came. Without His coming into mankind. There is no hope for men. But He came! And Jesus was His name! Praise the Lord, the great Creator became my savior! He is worthy all our praises for eternity!

I never get tired of singing this hymn. It stirs up my love for the Lord Jesus, His incarnation, human living, crucifixion and resurrection are the greatest events in human history and we will need all eternity to fathom the depth of these mysteries, hallelujah praise Him!!

What condescension! The great Creator came down from His glory to be my Saviour!! It’s hard to fathom how the great God laid aside His splendor, stooped down to woo me, win me, to save my soul!
How I love You, How I adore You! Thank you Lord Jesus for taking this big step into humanity to be my all in all.

Singing this hymn just recovers my love towards our dear Lord!
"Without reluctance" speaks of Him choosing to take this way for us.
Oh how I love Him! How can I not when He's accomplished all for me?

John1:14. And the Word became flesh and tabernacles among us ( and we beheld His glory, glory as of the only Begotten from the Father ), full of grace and reality.
