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.
Refrain:
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 fullness 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.”
Patiently, tenderly pleading Jesus is standing today;
At your heart’s door He knocks as before O turn Him no longer away.
Refrain
Don’t turn Him away, don’t turn Him away,
He has come back to your heart again although you’ve gone astray;
O how you’ll need Him to plead your cause on that eternal day!
Don’t turn the Savior away from your heart, O don’t turn Him away.
Gracious, compassionate mercy brought Him from mansions above;
Caused Him to wait just outside your gate O yield to His wonderful love
Can you not now hear Him calling? Do not ill treat such a Friend;
Give up your sin O let Him come in Lo He will be true to the end.
Now is the time to receive Him, Grant Him admission today;
Grieve Him no more, but open your door and turn Him no longer away.
Down in the valley with my Savior I would go
Where the flowers are blooming and the sweet waters flow
Everywhere He leads me I would follow follow on
Walking in His footsteps ’till the crown be won
Refrain
Follow follow I would follow Jesus
Anywhere everywhere I would follow on
Follow follow I would follow Jesus
Everywhere He leads me I would follow on
Down in the valley with my Savior I would go
Where the storms are sweeping and the dark waters flow
With His hand to lead me I will never never fear
Danger cannot fright me if my Lord is near
Down in the valley or upon the mountain steep
Close beside my Savior would my soul ever keep
He will lead me safely in the path that He has trod
Up to where they gather on the hills of God
