Lyrics (via hymnary.org)
THE UNVEILED CHRIST, by N.B. Herrell
1 Once our blessèd Christ of beauty
Was veiled off from human view;
But thro’ suffering, death and sorrow
He has rent the veil in two.
Chorus:
O behold the Man of Sorrows,
O behold Him in plain view;
Lo! He is the mighty conqu’ror,
Since He rent the veil in two.
Lo! He is the mighty conqu’ror,
Since He rent the veil in two.
2 Now He is with God the Father,
Interceding there for you;
For He is the mighty conqu’ror,
Since He rent the veil in two. (Chorus)
3 Holy angels bow before Him,
Men of earth give praises due;
For He is the well-belovèd
Since He rent the veil in two. (Chorus)
4 Thro’out time and endless ages,
Heights and depths of love so true;
He alone can be the giver
Since He rent the veil in two. (Chorus)
DOWN FROM HIS GLORY, by William E. Booth-Clibborn
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. [Refrain]
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.” [Refrain]
I LOVE HIM (chorus), by Anonymous
I love Him, I love Him,
Because He first loved me;
And purchased my salvation on Calv’ry’s tree.
