Praise to the Holiest in the Height Lyrics

1. Praise to the holiest in the height

And in the depth be praised

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 that a higher gift than grace

Should flesh and blood refine,

God’s presence and his very self.

And essence all divine.

5. O generous love! that he who smote

In man for man the foe,

The double agony in man

For man should undergo.

6. And in the garden secretly,

And on the cross on high

Should teach his brethren, and inspire,

To suffer and to die.

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.
