Down from His glory

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.”

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!
