Down from His glory, 永活的故事,
1
Down from His glory,
永活的故事,
Ever living story,
撇下榮耀降世,
My God and Savior came,
神來作我救主,
And Jesus was His name.
成人,名叫耶穌。
Born in a manger,
生在馬槽裏,
To His own a stranger,
像根出於乾地,
A man of sorrows, tears and agony.
成為憂患的人,常受痛苦。
Chorus 和
O how I love Him! How I adore Him!
我何等愛祂!何等敬拜祂!
My breath, my sunshine, my all in all!
我命,我日光,我的一切!
The great Creator became my Savior,
偉大創造主,作了我救主,
And all God’s fullness dwelleth in Him.
帶來神豐滿,取用不竭。
2
What condescension,
何等的低就,
Bringing us redemption;
為要使我得救;
That in the dead of night,
使那蔭中喪亡,
Not one faint hope in sight,
無一至於失望;
God, gracious, tender,
神何柔而愛,
Laid aside His splendor,
撇開祂的光彩,
Stooping to woo, to win, to save my soul.
降卑來苦、來愛、來救喪亡。
3
Without reluctance,
絲毫不勉強,
Flesh and blood His substance,
祂將血肉穿上,
He took the form of man,
取了人的形狀,
Revealed the hidden plan.
將神計劃顯彰。
O glorious myst’ry,
榮耀的奧祕,
Sacrifice of Calv’ry,
神人竟成為一,
And now I know Thou art the great I AM.
你這偉大“我是”, 我今得享。
