Down from His gloryEver-living storyMy God and Savior cameAnd Jesus was His nameBorn in a mangerTo His own a strangerA man of sorrows, tearsAnd agony
What condescensionBringing us redemptionThat in the dead of nightNot one faint hope in sightGod gracious, tenderLaid aside His splendorStooping to woo, to winTo save my soul
Oh, how I love Him!How I adore Him!My breath, my sunshineMy all in allThe great CreatorBecame my SaviorAnd all God’s fullnessDwelleth in Him
Without reluctanceFlesh and blood His substanceHe took the form of manRevealed the hidden planOh, glorious mysterySacrifice of CalvaryAnd now I know Thou artThe Great I AM
Oh, how I love Him!Oh, how I love Him!How I adore Him!My breath, my sunshineMy all in allThe great CreatorBecame my SaviorAnd all God’s fullnessDwelleth in Him
The great CreatorBecame my SaviorAnd all God’s fullnessDwelleth in Him
