he came down from glory

"Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world. O righteous Father, even though the world does not know you, I know you, and these know that you have sent me. I made known to them your name, and I will continue to make it known, that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them."  (John 17:24–26 - part of the prayer of Jesus on the night before he was crucified)
 
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.
 
.
Oh, how I love him / How I adore him / My breath, my sunshine / My all in all / The great creator / Became my saviour / And all God's fullness / 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.
 
.
Oh, how I love him / How I adore him / My breath, my sunshine / My all in all / The great creator / Became my saviour / And all God's fullness / Dwelleth in him. 
Without reluctance,
  Flesh and blood his substance
He took the form of man,
  Revealed the hidden plan.
O glorious mystery,
  Sacrifice of Calvary,
And now I know he is the great “I AM.”
