Down from His glory

1
永活的故事，
撇下榮耀降世，
神來作我救主，
成人，名叫耶穌。
生在馬槽裡，
像根出於乾地，
成為憂患的人，
常受痛苦。
我何等愛祂！
何等敬拜祂！
我氣，我日光，
我的一切！
偉大創造主，
作了我救主，
帶來神豐滿，取用不竭。
2
何等的低就，
為要使我得救；
使那蔭中喪亡，
無一至於失望；
神何柔而愛，
撇開祂的光彩，
降卑來苦、來愛、
來救喪亡。
3
絲毫不勉強，
祂將血肉穿上，
取了人的形狀，
將神計畫顯彰。
榮耀的奧祕，
神人竟成為一；
在你，神的一切
我全得享。

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.”
