Full Lyrics
VERSE 1
Praise to the Holiest in the height,
And in the depth be praise,
In all his words most wonderful,
Most sure in all his ways.
VERSE 2
O loving wisdom of our God!
When all was sin and shame,
A second Adam to the fight
And to the rescue came.
VERSE 3
O wisest love! that flesh and blood
Which did in Adam fail,
Should strive afresh against their foe,
Should strive and should prevail;
VERSE 4
And that a higher gift than grace
Should flesh and blood refine,
God's presence and his very self,
And Essence all divine.
VERSE 5
O generous love that he who smote
In man for man the foe,
The double agony in man
For man should undergo;
VERSE 6
And in the garden secretly
And on the cross on high
Should teach his brethren, and inspire
To suffer and to die
VERSE 7
Praise to the Holiest in the height,
And in the depth be praise,
In all his words most wonderful,
Most sure in all his ways.
