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.
Without reluctance,
Flesh and blood His substance,
He took the form of man,
Revealed the hidden plan.
Oh glorious mystery,
Sacrifice of Calvary,
And now I know
Thou art the great "I Am."
