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 the foe,
Should strive, and should prevail;
VERSE 4
And in the garden secretly,
And on the cross on high,
Should teach his brethren, and inspire
To suffer and to die.
