He came from the bosom of God

December 8

He came from the bosom of God,
He exiled Himself from His throne;
The path of affliction He trod
Was trodden by Jesus alone.

Despised and rejected of men,
Acquainted with sorrow was He;
Dishonored again and again
The Sinless consented to be.

His back to the smiters He gave,
His face unto mocking and shame;
Obedient e’en to the grave
Our lowly Redeemer became.

But hark!  He arose from the dead;
The battle with sin has been won;
The price of the blood that He shed
Is glory already begun.

Chorus
There is glory enough for us all,
Glory already begun!
In the victory Jesus has won
There is glory, glory, there is glory,
Yes, glory enough for us all!
     James M. Gray
