Hymn 785 – PRAISE to the Holiest in the height | C&S English Hymnary

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 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 gen’rous love! that He, Who smote In Man for man the fee 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 praised In all His words most wonderful Most sure in all His ways AMEN
