 1 

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.

 

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.

 

 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."

 

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.
