Praise to the Holiest in the height,

63

	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,
		He, the last 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 the 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.
