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 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.
