PRAISE TO THE HOLIEST IN THE HEIGHT

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!

2.  O loving wisdom of our God! When all was sin and shame, A second Adam to the fight- And to the rescue came.

3.  O wisest love! that flesh and blood, Which did in Adam fail, Should strive afresh against their foe, Should strive and should prevail.

4.  And in the garden secretly, And on the cross on high, Should teach His brethren, and inspire- To suffer and to die.

5.  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.
